Dysart house, Kempton, has been home to Old Kempton Distillery since November 2015. On site we make a variety of spirits including; single malt whisky, gin, liqueurs and schnapps. All made using 100% Tasmanian ingredients. 

Your fully guided tour starts with an 8 minute introductory film in our theatre room, which includes a short history on Dysart House and outline of the distillation process. You will then get the opportunity to go behind the scenes, allowing you access to our distillery and bond store. Our bond store is full of maturing Whisky and barrels of all different shapes and sizes. Ghost stories are all a part of the history of the house so keep your eyes peeled. Each tour is unique and an amazing opportunity to see how a distillery runs on a day to day basis.
