Tasting note
Hartshorn Distillery shares its land with Grandvewe Cheeses in Tasmania and makes vodka from the sheep whey left over from cheesemaking. This peat smoked version was created with lovers of heavily peated whisky in mind.
Where the smoke comes from. The distillery uses peat from Tasmania's North West Coast, a region it likens in climate and weather to Scotland's west coast. The peat is dried and set alight, and the smoke is fed into the whey fermentation before distilling, then vapour infused again in the final stage of distillation.
Tasting. A delicate, smoky and sweet nose. Once you sip, the smoke opens right up and the spirit builds in complexity, finishing smooth.
Serving. Try it neat with savoury food such as fresh oysters, salmon gravlax or steak, or use it in a dirty martini or a Bloody Mary.

Hartshorn Distillery
Hartshorn Distillery shares land with Grandvewe Cheeses. We are the same family with the same goal: reducing waste and caring for the planet. Whey, often discarded in cheesemaking, is repurposed into alcohol. Using a welding rod, an old beer keg, and internet research, we created vodka. Double-distilled and unfiltered, we use only the best 10 percent of each distillate, producing 150 bottles per batch.
Our success with vodka led us to create gin, using sheep's whey and native botanicals like lemon myrtle, anise myrtle, wattleseed, juniper berries, and Tasmanian pepper leaf. We also make whey-based liqueur and whey-sky, a unique take on whiskey.
Hartshorn was born from a need to reduce waste and a desire to flip the script on traditional spirit-making and flip the bird to those who said it couldn’t happen. We’ve been told our packaging process — hand-painting and individually signing our name to our bottles — is ridiculous. And, look, maybe it is, but it’s also fizzy-knickers sexy and one of the most iconic bottle designs in Australia, holding its own on any bar shelf. We’ve also been told our small batch process is unsustainable. It’s not only still going, but it’s making some of the country’s most distinctive and award-winning craft spirits.
Local Craftsmanship
From the very beginning, we believed in all of this because we believed in the values it was being built on. We just wanted to make something good, something unique, that we’d held in our hands from start to finish. We’re gonna keep doing that, but it’s real nice that what we do has come to mean something to others too.
