DESCRIPTION
Step into the world of Old Kempton Distillery, where history, craftsmanship, and flavour come together in the heart of Tasmania.
Your experience begins at the beautiful Dysart House in Kempton, a grand 1840s coaching inn that has been home to Old Kempton Distillery since 2015. Here, we craft small-batch spirits—single malt whisky, gin, and liqueurs—using only the finest 100% Tasmanian ingredients.
Your package includes a journey through time and taste: a guided tour of the house, our working distillery, the bond store where whisky quietly matures in barrels of all shapes and sizes, and our surrounding grounds. Each tour is unique, offering an insider’s look at daily life inside a boutique distillery. And keep your eyes peeled—this old house has its share of ghost stories and secrets in the walls.
After your behind-the-scenes adventure, take a seat in our elegant Cask Lounge, nestled within the cellar of the old coaching inn. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of four Old Kempton single malt whiskies, paired perfectly with a Tasmanian antipasto platter for one—a delicious spread of local produce (normally valued at $90).
If whisky isn’t your only interest, we also offer tastings of our handcrafted gins and liqueurs—just let us know what you’d like to explore.
It’s more than just a tour—it’s an unforgettable experience of Tasmanian spirit, both in glass and in place.
Please note: we also offer take-home whisky packs for all designated drivers who wish to still be included on the tour.
