IN QUIET PURSUIT OF THE EXTRAORDINARY

  • In Tasmania’s far south, where the air is crisp, the ocean wild, and the spring water pure, you’ll find McHenry Distillery, the Southernmost Distillery and Brewery in the World.

    Located on Tasmania’s remote and windswept Tasman Peninsula, close to the iconic Port Arthur Historic site, our family-run operation is powered by the elements and driven by a deep respect for our craft.
    Every bottle begins with water drawn from our five pristine natural springs flowing through our Tasman Peninsula property. It’s not just rare, it’s a privilege.

  • This pristine pure spring water is the foundation and lifeblood of our distilling process, enhancing the purity, character, and complexity of every spirit we craft.

    With a cool, ocean-tempered climate akin to Scotland, our whisky is given the gift of time, maturing gently, deepening in complexity, and delivering extraordinary character. Every bottle is a reflection of where it’s made.
    Our collections are shaped by nature, nurtured by time, and crafted with quiet precision.

A VISION, A JOURNEY, A LEGACY IN THE MAKING 

Some dreams start with careful planning. Others begin with a single remark...


"With a name like William Fraser McHenry you should learn the bagpipes and make whisky."

That light-hearted comment set in motion a journey that led William (Bill) from the corporate world of Sydney and the USA to the rugged beauty of Tasmania, where he discovered the perfect land, purest water, and ideal conditions to craft whisky and gin of exceptional quality. 

From a dream to a distillery...
