With a state-of-the-art automated system, we can focus on our true passion: crafting spirits with unrivaled smoothness and flavor, making every drop a testament to excellence.

OUR QUALITY SPIRITS
Our team is committed to crafting exceptional premium Tasmanian spirits, with a passion for quality and service. From our award-winning gin to our premium single malt whisky, each spirit is inspired by the stunning landmarks surrounding our distillery. Western Tiers Distillery products make perfect gifts, whether for special occasions or for elevating your next gathering with a truly distinctive Tasmanian touch.

OUR HISTORY
In 2016, driven by a passion for hand-crafted quality, friends Mark Kolodziej and Tim Freeman founded Stillsmiths Tasmania, supplying premium distillation equipment to the growing spirits industry.
In 2021, their dream became reality with the opening of Western Tiers Distillery in the historic village of Westbury, nestled at the foot of the Great Western Tiers. Visitors can now experience their craft firsthand, proudly opening its doors to the public.

OUR DISTILLER
It’s not often that a fabricator involved in the building of a distillery, has the opportunity to become its distiller.
That is exactly what John Scott, a long time boilermaker and craftsman has done. From installing our very own Stillsmiths Stills and distilling equipment to operating the distillery is a pathway that John has embraced.
John is mentored by Master Distiller Damian Mackey, famous for creating Tasmania’s distinctively rich, triple-distilled spirits.
