Overview

The Tasmanian Whisky Trail

The guide was updated: 2023-10-31

In one of the few places in the world where whisky is still made the old-fashioned way, it’s the people that make Tasmanian whisky special. Pure water running off mountains is ideal for producing fine whisky. Just like in the 1830s, Tasmanian whisky is handcrafted slowly in copper stills, matured in small barrels and hand bottled by whisky lovers, for whisky lovers, worldwide.
