Their Whisky Range uses different oak casks during maturation which bring the flavours of the oak and of the previous cask contents.

Local Barley, Pure Water And Clean Air

At Launceston Distillery they combine Tasmanian malted barley with pure water from Tasmania’s longest river, the South Esk to produce premium single malt whisky.
