About
Formed in 2015 when Damien Mackey merged his Mackey brand with David and Anne Kernke's Shene Estate (purchased 2006). Produces Tasmania's only triple-distilled single malt whisky under the Mackey brand, plus Poltergeist Gin. Four copper pot stills: 4,500L wash still, 2,000L first spirit still, 1,100L second spirit still, and 300L gin still. Brewing section has 8 x 7,500L stainless steel fermenters and a 5,000L mash tun. Acquired by Lark Distilling Co. in October 2021 for reportedly up to $40 million AUD. The triple-distillation has an Irish bent, reflecting founder Damian Mackey's heritage, while remaining distinctly Tasmanian.
