McHenry Distillery
Located at Port Arthur, McHenry Distillery is Australia’s southern-most whisky distillery. As well, the Distillery specialises in award-winning premium spirits, including Gin & Vodka and Beer.
The Distillery’s southern location takes advantage of the cool, moist maritime environment, providing perfect conditions for whisky making. The Distillery uses its own abundant, clear spring water that flows directly into the distillery and becomes the heart of the developing spirit.
You can visit and experience hand-made single malt Tasmanian whisky and other high-quality spirits like gin, sloe gin, vodka and our beer brewed on site. The McHenry Distillery has a new Cellar Door at the Distillery and is open every day from 12 noon – 4 pm. If you can’t make it to Port Arthur, they have a weekly stall at Salamanca Market and a shop open 4 days a week at the new Brooke Street Pier on Hobart’s waterfront or in the Salamanca Arts Centre on Salamanca Parade (M-Sat 10am till 4pm)
Tours and tastings daily. McHenry Distillery has recently added two new modern eco-cottages, allowing visitors to have a longer, more leisurely visit to the Distillery.
