Spirit showcase Tasmania

WHISKY spirit appreciators from all over Australia, enjoyed the annual Tasmanian whisky week (TWW) events and the main event the spirit showcase, in Hobart.

Almost 40 different Tasmanian distilleries showcased their spirits at the PW1 exhibition building.

I was really nervous at the start, but then Bill Lark came to say giday to 'happy', as he always calls me and everyones spirits lifted.  

   This industry is epic to be a part of. The people behind every event, every counter and the place we call home, I believe, are the key to what makes all our spirits enjoyed by so many.

Big shout out to Shane and Paige Thomas for all the efforts, thank you.

  Many of the living legends of the whisky personally said hello to support us and that's incredibly rewarding.

   It's nice to be engulfed in magnificent moments and surrounded by leaders that look out for boutique distillery operators like myself.  

   It's empowering that people who have contributed years of dedication to the Tasmanian spirits industry, acknowledge our achievements and that together we are stronger embracing the craft spirits of Tasmania and King Island.
