HOW IT ALL BEGAN
John and Bill Lark become fast friends and Bill ignited in John a fervent passion for whisky.
"JOHN IS GOING TO BE HELPING TO PUT TASMANIAN WHISKY ON THE WORLD MAP"
- Bill Lark. The Godfather of Tasmanian Whisky
JOHN'S LOVE OF WHISKY TAKES FLIGHT
In early 2016 John and Bill travelled to Scotland and were fortunate to experience "behind the scenes" visits to some of the best whisky distilleries in the world.
JOHN HAS THE VISION OF CALLINGTON MILL DISTILLERY
As soon as John saw the Oatlands site and Callington Mill he fell in love with the town and the Heritage buildings. He was inspired by the colourful history of the site and started to envision the possibilities.
ESTABLISHING A TASMANIAN TURNKEY DISTILLERY
When John was establishing Callington Mill Distillery there were no existing options available in Tasmania. Thanks to an exciting collaboration with Kolmark's Mark Kolodziej, and a trip to Cardrona Distillery in New Zealand, new Tasmanian technology was intiated specifcally for Callington Mill Distillery.
CALLINGTON MILL RAISING THE BENCHMARK
Our founder John Ibrahim has created a Tasmanian Distillery on a scale not previously seen. The latest Tasmanian Technology has been utilised to bring about a new era in Tasmanian Whisky.
"WE HAVE BUILT THE ROLLS ROYCE OF WHISKY DISTILLERIES. BY RESPECTING AND UNDERSTANDING OUR PAST, WE HAVE FOUND OUR FUTURE."
- John Ibrahim
