Tasty snacks

King Island Distillery has adapted to a new rising demand for lean and tasty produce to enjoy alongside our handcrafted local spirits.

By stocking Kooee snacks at our distillery door, for our hungry visitors, we choose to support a local Tasmanian business who are makers of a natural beef jerky.

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.

Neat whisky night

Cinco Passiones is now a King Island Distillery spirits stockist, thank you and cheers ♡ hh♡. 'Monday Neat' whisky tasting night in the intimate setting of Cinco Passiones, was most interesting.

A night of sharing stories, tasting platters and terrific Tasmanian whisky. Four Distilleries guided through their story and a selection of their spirits.

Lori the local Cooper, who brought his tools of the trade, demonstrated how he makes the best barrels for Tasmanian spirits.

Katie Wade from the Tasmanian Whisky Experience, brilliantly organised and co hosts the evening.

Ask Drew Burn to host more events like this in his whisky and cigar lounge, Cinco Passiones, Level 2/47A Brisbane St, Launceston, Tasmania.
