Why do we love this whisky?
(Only one bottle per person due to limited qualities, any additional orders will be automatically canceled)
Now, let’s chat about their single malt. After five years of cozying up in ex-bourbon barrels, it’s been bottled at cask strength. Pure magic, if you ask us! Launceston Distillery is all about local – from the ingredients to the people. Although, we’re not quite convinced they’ve got Tasmanian devils on the payroll, despite what the cheeky label from That Boutique-y Whisky Company might suggest. And let’s be real, a dapper Westie named Angus probably isn’t calling the shots either. But hey, it adds to the charm!
This particular drop is a limited Batch 1, with only 187 bottles available. Perfect for collectors and whisky lovers alike!
Speaking of which, That Boutique-y Whisky Company is renowned for its quirky, graphic novel-style labels and limited-edition bottlings that make every sip an adventure. They also whip up some award-winning blends, so you know you’re in for a treat.
Grab a bottle, and let the good times roll!

Notes from the maker
The Launceston Distillery was established by a group of five friends and investors in 2013., and after much hard work it commenced whisky production in 2015.
The distillery is located in the historic Hangar 17 at Launceston airport. Built in 1932, Hangar 17 is the oldest surviving aviation building in Tasmania. It was used as a passenger departure point until the current terminal was built in 1968. An ex-brewer, and Tasmanian local, Chris Condon stepped up to be their distiller. Chris is followed everywhere by his companion, Angus the Westie, who has supervised operations at two distilleries, and lays claim to being Tasmania’s most experienced whisky distillery dog.
The stills and brewing equipment were all manufactured in Hobart, with the heads of both stills having a distinctive reflux ball to produce a smooth, refined spirit. They are clad in Tasmanian oak for heat retention too. The water used is drawn from the South Esk river nearby, the longest running river in Tasmania. All the barley used is grown in the north of Tasmania.
