Step into the bond store at Lawrenny and fill your own bottle of single malt whisky, drawn straight from a cask selected exclusively for the cellar door. With guidance from the distilling team, fill, label, and seal your own bottle, each one unique and marked with the details of its cask and origin.

These single cask releases are unique, produced with estate-grown barley, pure water from the River Derwent, and the slow Tasmanian maturation that define Lawrenny’s style. As one of the few true paddock-to-bottle distilleries in the world, Lawrenny takes pride in sharing not just their spirits, but the storey behind them.

This experience is a chance to become part of that storey, to take home a piece of Lawrenny that has been finished with your own hand. Located in the picturesque Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Lawrenny Estate was once the state’s largest private landholding. For the past two hundred years, the fertile fields have been used for livestock farming, producing some of the best stocks in Australia.

The pure waters originating from Lake Saint Clair flow metres from the distillery doors and form the essence of the spirit. Wild Antarctic winds stream across the property during winter whilst the land remains dry and warm over the summer months. This is an ideal climate for the barrels to spend their years maturing.

Very few distilleries have the opportunity to incorporate their own supply of pure water into their whisky expression. Lake Saint Clair is Australia’s deepest freshwater lake and is the headwater of the River Derwent, a river that winds metres past the distillery doors, the source of the Estate Water. The lake was established more than 20,000 years ago when a glacier formation created a 120-meter-deep ravine in the middle of the alpine landscape, filled with melted snow and ice.

It’s the water’s truly neutral properties that are beneficial to both the brewing element of production and the dilution of the whisky as it moves from casks to bottles.
