Who am I: Producer
THE DISTILLERY
McHenry Distillery is Australia’s southern most whisky distillery and with its family heritage makes it the southernmost family run distillery in the world. Its location takes advantage of the cool-moist-maritime environment, giving the maturing spirit the right conditions to make the most of its time in the wooden barrels. The property also has its own abundant pure spring water which becomes the heart of the developing spirit.
The McHenry family produces in the traditional way one of the best gins in Australia. The attention to detail and the very high quality of the product make it a UNIQUE GIN.

TASMANIA COUNTRY
Tasmania is located south of Australia less than 5,000 km from the Antarctic continent. Very far from areas with high environmental impact and exploitation.
Unspoiled nature.
Thanks to its position, the winds that cross it have already travelled the entire globe, releasing all pollutants. The spring water is among the purest and most uncontaminated in the world.
Ideal climate.
The climate is of a temperate maritime type. Good relationship between sunny and rainy days. Ideal climate for indigenous botanical varieties.
60,000 sq. km.
Tasmania has an area of about 60,000 square kilometers. The population is just 500,000 inhabitants. This guarantees low territorial exploitation.
Natural parks.
Very rich in natural parks and reserves designed to protect the environment and from the exploitation of resources. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Conditions of spirits production.
Its location exploits the cool-humid-maritime environment, giving the spirit in maturation the right conditions to make the most of its time in wooden barrels.
The purest water.
The distillery also has its own abundant pure spring water which becomes the heart of the spirits production.
A FAMILY BUSINESS
William McHenry, made distillation a way of life. Celtic Gaelic traditions, contact and respect for nature above all. William McHenry Distillery sits on one side of Mount Arthur and is located on the Tasman Peninsula.
The Distillery - Mount Arthur stands sentinel over Port Arthur and this great southern port, with its deep harbour, opens southward onto the Great Southern Ocean.
Port Arthur is a welcome sight to weary mariners, who having entered, can look back and imagine the South Pole due south of them, separated by 5,000km of mountainous salty brine.
There’s nothing quite like the cool purity of air found in this part of the world. It wraps around the globe on the latitude 43°, leaving South America without crossing another land mass, until it eventually finds its way to the southern tip of Tasmania some 17,000km later. In that time the wave whipped ocean has stripped out all but the distant memory of man’s influence.
