It is located 240 km (150 mi) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by the Bass Strait.

I participated in the Distillery School in March 2021. It was a fantastic experience where I learn so much and stoked my passion for whisky. Mark was an excellent teacher and the rest of the team were so welcoming and ready to share their knowledge and experience. Very glad I attended as will keep the knowledge obtained for the rest of my life. Highly recommend if you are serious about learning more about the technical aspects of whisky distilling.
