Nestled within the historic Hangar 17 at Launceston Airport, Launceston Distillery is Tasmania’s destination for hand-crafted single malt whisky. Built in 1932, this heritage-listed hangar – Tasmania’s oldest aviation building – once hosted Ansett-ANA and recalls an era of adventure and nostalgia. Today, it’s home to our boutique distillery, where everything from grain to bottle takes place under one roof.
On a guided tour, explore the distilling process and see our distinctive Tasmanian-made copper pot stills, designed with a unique reflux ball for a refined, smooth spirit. Crafted with Tasmanian malted barley and pure South Esk River water, our whiskies are rich in gentle, fruity, and floral notes – matured on-site in a range of oak casks for an elegant, nuanced finish.
Join us for tastings of our core range, bottled at 46% ABV, and experience our limited editions available at natural cask strength. Tours and tastings offer a truly memorable journey through the art of Tasmanian whisky-making.
We welcome you Monday to Saturday, 10am – 4pm. Tastings are $15 per person, lasting 20 minutes, while one-hour tours, including a tasting, are available for $20 per person.
Make your visit to Launceston Distillery an experience to remember with a taste of Tasmanian history and whisky craft at its finest.
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
