Since November 2015, the grand and historic Dysart House in Kempton has been the proud home of Old Kempton Distillery. Nestled in the heart of Tasmania, this charming 1840s coaching inn has become a place where tradition meets craftsmanship—where single malt whisky, gin, liqueurs, and special releases are handcrafted using 100% Tasmanian ingredients.
Your journey begins with a fully guided tour, starting in the drawing rooms of Dysart House, where stories of its past unfold—tales of the families who lived there, the travelers who passed through, and perhaps even a ghost or two. As the history comes alive, you’ll be introduced to the fascinating distillation process before stepping behind the scenes into the working heart of the distillery.
Here, in the bond store, rows of barrels in all shapes and sizes cradle maturing whisky—each one quietly evolving with time. The scent of oak and spirit fills the air, and you’ll get a rare glimpse into the daily workings of a small-batch distillery.
After the tour, settle into the elegant Cask Lounge, located within the original cellar of the coaching inn. Here, your experience continues with a guided tasting of four signature Old Kempton Distillery spirits—a moment to savour the craftsmanship in every sip.
If you’re feeling peckish, lunch is available daily and highly recommended. Choose from antipasto platters featuring local Tasmanian produce, traditional Devonshire tea, or our rotating selection of daily specials. The café also offers expertly made cocktails, coffee, and additional tastings, open from 10am to 4pm.
Before you leave, wander through our charming Cellar Door—a space filled with Old Kempton Distillery products, unique spirits, and keepsakes to remember your visit to Dysart House.
At Old Kempton Distillery, it's more than a tour—it’s a story, an experience, and a taste of Tasmania’s rich heritage in every glass.
Please note: we also offer take-home whisky packs for all designated drivers who wish to still be included on the tour.
