Hunnington Distillery

Hunnington Distillery is an award-winning, family-owned and run business that overlooks Trial Bay and Deadman's Point, just outside Kettering, Tasmania.

We are an award-winning craft distiller and maker of Deadman's Point Vapour Infused Gin, Sloe Gin, Navy Gin, Fresh Chilli Vodka, Real Coffee Bean Vodka and Hunnington Triple Distilled Whisky.

At Hunnington Distillery, we invite you to drive off the beaten track and join us in our remarkable journey through the art of distillation, where passion, creativity, and perseverance have given rise to extraordinary spirits that enchant the senses and captivate the soul.

Our story began as a heartfelt response to life's crossroads, where dreams collided with reality. A midlife crisis, a joy of story telling, a talent for painting, a love the clean pure environment of the Channel and the reality of having to have food on the table led to the creation of Hunnington Distillery.

We draw inspiration from the beauty of our surroundings. Whether it's the rich, dark hues of our triple distilled single malt whiskey, aged to perfection in sherry barrels, or the invigorating freshness of our contemporary-style gin, every drop tells a story of commitment and excellence.

Authenticity and quality are paramount. We source organic, locally grown ingredients, ensuring that every drop reflects the essence of our terroir. From the finest Tasmanian malted barley to hand-picked botanicals from our own garden, each element is thoughtfully chosen to craft spirits that speak of our commitment to sustainable and genuine practices.

As the seasons change, so do our offerings. Delight in the warmth of our Sloe Gin, a beautifully crafted blend of botanicals and the finest foraged sloes, or savor the bold and fiery notes of our Chili Vodka, sourced from our own garden.

In our quest for excellence, we stumbled upon a surprising and delightful creation – a clear coffee vodka that defied convention and intrigued even the most discerning palates.

Inspired by the unexpected, we continue to push the boundaries of flavor and innovation. Whatever your palate craves, we have a spirit to elevate every moment.

Highly recommend going to meet David at Hunnington. He was very knowledgeable and really took the time to show us his whisky making process. His whisky is also one of the best I've ever tasted so had to take one home for myself. Wish I had bought more! Thanks Dave for a great afternoon.

I missed this place on the map, but luckily I spotted the sign on my way through and decided to stop.
Met Liz, David and Skipper. Such a lovely afternoon tasting the passion that goes into their Gin & Vodka and hearing their stories. I have no doubt the whiskey is top notch. You’ll be sorry to miss this experience

Amazing distillery! David is very knowledgeable and will take the time to talk about how the various alcohols are produced. They make Gin, Vodka, and Whisky here. The various flavours are amazing. Be sure to try the coffee and chilli vodka, even if you're not a vodka drinker. It's an amazing experience. Enter via 3033 Channel Highway. The back driveway is closed.
