HOW IT ALL BEGAN

John and Bill Lark became fast friends and Bill ignited in John a fervent passion for whisky.

Watch the video below to learn how it all began...

'John is going to be helping to put Tasmanian Whisky on the World Map.'

-Bill Lark

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.

The Latest Technology at Callington Mill Distillery

 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 initiated specifically for Callington Mill Distillery.
