True to its Scottish roots, the town of Bothwell has one of Australia's top distilleries, Nant Distillery, housed in the historic Nant Mill (circa 1821). Nant's produce Australia's only Highland Single Malt Whisky, which is made using pure local Highland waters. Traditional pot still distillation methods combined with smaller barrels and the choice of timbers contribute significantly to Nant's quality and flavour profile - What makes Nant truly unique is the combination of pristine natural environment and pure natural ingredients. Visitors to the distillery can sample their fine single malt whisky. 254 Nant Lane, Bothwell

Old Kempton Distillery produces one of two 'paddock to bottle' single malt whisky distilleries in the world (the other is Kilchoman in Scotland). We grow our own barley, draw our water from our 2km of Plenty River water frontage, steep and floor malt the barley and mash and distil in our circa 1857 granary building. A cooper prepares French oak barrels on site, and our whisky is left to mature in peace in our hop kiln. Redlands Distillery uses barrels sourced from local Tasmanian vineyards.

The Tasmanian climate may not be so good for all year round for warm weather based activities, although it does make whisky drinkers of the world happy. The cooler climate has the capacity to craft the perfect barrel, this is due to the diurnal range which is a fancy word for the temperate range between the maximum and the minimum. This optimal climate also allows for other ingredients to grow to its full potential. Corra Lin Distillery separates themselves from other distilleries because of the the barley that can be grown in Northern Tasmania particularly is distinct and unique in its flavour. Water in Tasmania is also some of the cleanest around the world, making it one of the purest ingredients of Tasmanian Whisky.

Spring Bay Distillery produces unique whisky and gin on Tasmania's east coast. The distillery is less than 500 metres from Spring Bay, also a perfect place to mature whisky, where it takes on the briny characteristics of its home.

The Trapper's Hut label was created in 2008, when barrels of Tasmanian whisky bought as investments in 2000 could not be sold 'as is'. The whisky was found to be outstanding, so the owners were encouraged to bottle the spirit under their own label. Trapper's Hut Whisky specialises in the release of single casks of Tasmanian Whisky that were distilled in 1999-2000 and matured in 200-litre American Oak ex-bourbon casks.

Tasmania Distillery was established in 1994 on the banks of the River Derwent at Sullivans Cove, the site where the British planted their flag and began to build the settlement that became the City of Hobart, Australia's second oldest city. Sullivans Cove was chosen as the name for the whisky, to pay homage to the history of the site. With a change of ownership in 2003 the barrelled whisky, still and equipment was relocated to Cambridge, a quiet village on the outskirts of Hobart.
