Battery Point Distillery

Battery Point Distillery is a small Hobart producer focused on Tasmanian whisky and other hand-crafted spirits. Its whisky is double-distilled in very small quantities using 100% Tasmanian malt mash and pure Tasmanian water, with the distillery describing each batch as distinct rather than uniform. The collection includes single malts matured in sherry, bourbon, port and other casks, alongside limited releases and other spirit expressions.

The distillery is based in a small stone building at Lenna of Hobart, at 20 Runnymede Street in historic Battery Point. The setting places the operation within one of Hobart’s older inner-city neighbourhoods, known on the distillery’s site for its winding lanes and 19th-century cottages. The website lists tours and tastings, with a dedicated contact number for enquiries, although visitors should contact the venue directly for current details before planning a visit.

Cask influence is central to the distillery’s range. The site highlights vintage Spanish sherry, tawny and port casks, as well as bourbon casks, with some whiskies drawing on single, double or triple cask ageing. Named releases include Sherry Cask Single Malt, Bourbon Cask Single Malt, Port Cask Single Malt, Small Cask Sherry, Shiraz Cask Matured and Red IPA Finish. The collection also includes the Winter Feast 2026 Limited Release and Lenna Private Label.

The distillery’s story is tied to its founding distiller, Jack Lark, whose family connection to whisky is noted on the site, and to head distiller Luke Lawrence, who oversees current production. That combination of traditional whisky distilling and varied barrel maturation gives the range a distinctly Tasmanian identity. It should appeal most to whisky enthusiasts and visitors interested in small-batch local spirits, whether browsing the online collection or enquiring about a tour or tasting in Battery Point.
