LAUNCESTON DISTILLERY

Launceston Distillery launched its first whisky in July 2018. Located in the heart of Tasmania at Launceston Airport’s historic Hangar 17, we produce hand-crafted single malt whisky. From grain to bottle everything happens under the one roof. Major equipment is Tasmanian made; the brewing equipment was inspired by the old Boags brewhouse, but our beautiful copper pot stills are the centrepiece. In the 1950s, Hangar 17 was home to Ansett-ANA when there was adventure associated with flying and nostalgia around a fine glass of whisky. Today, the Hangar provides the perfect home for a boutique whisky distillery.
