Off to tassie in Jan - what's good?

Who does the best whisky tasting?

Lark

Why not do all of them, they're generally quite cheap

We went to Nant which was OK, the girl who took us around was very friendly and knowledgeable but the tour was pretty brief, maybe 20-25min plus tasting at the end - the Tassie operations are obviously MUCH smaller than anything you'd find in Scotland. We didn't book, just rocked up and were the only ones there. Pretty sure we only paid $15 and got the 3 sample tasting thrown in, but we then both purchased a 50ml miniature to take with us for another $10ea.

 

Lark is a fair bit more expensive, $75 for basic tour, but that gets you 3hrs and travel between their bar in Hobart and the distillery.

Sullivans Cove do a $30 1hr tour+tasting and if you're going to Bruny Island then the Bruny Island House of Whisky would be well worth looking into - not really a distillery tour, but great local produce served alongside the largest collection of Tassie whiskies including limited and special releases.
