History
Battery Point Distillery was founded in 2018 by the owners of Lenna of Hobart.
Founding distiller Jack Lark helped establish the whisky programme; head distiller Luke Lawrence now oversees production.
The distillery has developed a deliberately small-batch model built around individual casks and combinations of cask types.
Production
Whisky is double-distilled in small quantities from 100% Tasmanian malt mash and Tasmanian water.
The producer highlights vintage Spanish sherry, tawny and port casks alongside bourbon casks.
Single, double and triple-cask ageing are used to create different expressions.

Rare and limited releases
Battery Point's range is built around small batches, so individual cask and finished releases can disappear quickly. Historic and limited labels should be checked against the current official collection.
