ABOUT BLUE LAKE LODGE
Arthur's Lake is located in the central highlands rugged region of Tasmanian and is the pristine water source for Callington Mill Distillery's single malt whisky.
Arthurs Lake is also home to Callington Mill Blue Lake Lodge – Located at 1042 meters above sea level - where we have been quietly maturing our whisky in the brooding climate and biodiversity of the Tasmanian wilderness.
It is within this unspoiled setting that our whisky casks mature outside, soaking in the pure air and clean waters, imparting unique wild characteristics to our whisky of honey, butterscotch, luscious white flowers, coconuts, and vanilla.
CALLINGTON MILL DISTILLERY
The main event of the Callington Mill Whisky tour takes place within the historic Callington Mill Distillery. Built-in 1837 by English entrepreneur John Vincent, Callington Mill stands as the only 19th-century operational tower mill in the southern hemisphere. Originally powered by a unique fusion of wind and steam, it was long whispered to have dual purposes in both flour milling and alcohol brewing. Today it is where we craft our limited edition whisky, embracing John Vincent’s rebellious spirt and Oatlands’ complex history.
