BOOK TOUR

With its pristine, rugged beauty, the Great Western Tiers in northern Tasmania is a special place. Above this ancient mountain range is The Land of a Thousand Lakes, a majestic and primeval landscape, a World Heritage Area and the source of the pure, icy cold water that is our key ingredient.In 2016, sharing a passion for hand-crafted, uncompromising quality, two long-time friends, Mark Kolodziej and Tim Freeman put the wheels in motion and a business was created, Stillsmiths Tasmania. Stillsmiths Tasmania supplies premium distillation equipment to Tasmania’s emerging spirit industry, in the process learning not just what has been done, but what could be done.

Always looking for new opportunities, they had often tinkered with the idea of opening their own distillery. In 2021 the dream has now become reality in the historic village of Westbury, nestled among the rich farmlands at the foot of the majestic Great Western Tiers.

With pristine water sourced from the Highland Lakes, botanicals sourced from the Tiers, and dedication and a commitment to staying true to their passion, Western Tiers Distillery is now producing a range of premium Tasmanian spirits. A triple-distilled, Single Malt Whisky, premium Gin, and for the rebellious at heart, a smooth and uniquely Tasmanian Poitín.

At the heart of our new distillery are the unique and beautiful copper pot stills, designed by Stillsmiths Tasmania, handcrafted by Kolmark at their Westbury workshop from the highest quality copper sourced from Europe.

Utilising a state-of-the-art control system, Stillsmiths Tasmania has created a fully automated next generation distillery which means at Western Tiers Distillery we can focus on our passion; creating spirits of unmatched smoothness and flavour.
