Old Kempton Distillery

Old Kempton Distillery was Tassie’s first paddock to bottle distillery. Everything from growing the barley to making the wash was done on its original site on the Plenty Highway. In 2015, the distillery made a move to the historic Dysart House in Kempton, on the road between Launceston and Hobart. The house was originally a coachhouse for weary travellers and their horses, making the long trip between Tasmania's north and south. These days, the stables hold the distillery’s Tasmanian-made copper still and also doubles as its bond store.

Everything Old Kempton Distillery makes is small-batch and hand-crafted... and it's not only whisky - they also make gin, apple liqueur and a few other delicious concoctions. The small team is dedicated to their product ,and take pride in their hands on approach to research and development, tasting, distilling, production and selling.

Pristine water, world-class local barley, the sense of community and a hands-on approach all come together to bring nothng short of spectacular whisky to the bottle.

Work is currently underway on significant upgrades to the distillery, so expect to see more from Old Kempton Distillery in the years to come!
