Why it's worth checking out
McHenry Distillery sits on Radnor Road near Port Arthur, on Tasmania's dramatic Tasman Peninsula — and holds the distinction of being the southernmost distillery in the country. A well-regarded craft distillery producing gin, whisky and other spirits, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, hand-crafted drops and its scenic, remote setting.
The appeal is that combination of genuinely good craft spirits, a beautiful peninsula location and the chance to taste at the source, ideal for a tasting or a relaxed visit while exploring the Tasman Peninsula's spectacular coast and historic sites. Its position as Australia's southernmost distillery adds a real sense of place to the experience.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Tastings, any tours, the spirits range, opening hours and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you make the trip — and pairing the visit with the Tasman Peninsula's many attractions, from Port Arthur to the dramatic coastline, to make the most of the day.
