TASMANIAN INGREDIENTS | TRADITIONAL PROCESS | TRIPLE DISTILLED
Created by Damian Mackey.
DAMIAN MACKEY HAS BEEN PART OF TASMANIA’S DISTILLING LANDSCAPE SINCE ITS EARLY DAYS.
He and Madeleine are big fans of both Irish and Tasmanian whisk(e)ys, and triple distillation has become their signature.
Creating their interpretation of Ireland’s iconic whiskey style affords them the chance to acknowledge their heritage, build on what they had done before, and celebrate Tasmania’s excellent ingredients.
Mixed mash, triple distilled, aged in oak.
Imagine the waterfront of Hobart /nipaluna in 1804. There were no big hotels, paved streets or industrial yards; no waterfront restaurants, pubs or cruise ships. Instead there was a bay surrounding a small rocky island. When the British arrived, they named it…
HUNTER ISLAND
When you’re visiting Hobart’s Macquarie Point or walking around Hunter and Evans Streets, it’s easy to forget that you’re walking on reclaimed land.
Hunter Island is gone, but the waterfront precinct which has replaced it serves the same purpose. It’s Hobart’s gateway, a place of arrival and promise. To stand on the site where Hunter Island once was, and look beyond the buildings and human activity, all you see is natural bounty: a deep harbour, a river full of life, and an undulating landscape dominated by the ancient sentinel, kunyani.
New distillery, bar and experiences coming to Hobart’s waterfront in 2023.
In 2023, we will be moving into our new distillery at Macquarie Point on the Hobart waterfront. Whether it’s a distillery visit, a whisky experience which meets you at your level, or a visit to Hunter Island Whisky Bar, specialising in Tasmanian and Irish whiskies, you will be very welcome.
