Tasmania Distillery has quickly become a very desirable producer, particularly after one of their releases being awarded the best single malt in the world 2014, at the World Whisky Awards - the first time that a Scottish whisky was not given this award.  That's not all it has received great acclaim elsewhere from whisky writers, and won a World Whisky Award again in 2018, this time for Best Single Cask.

Bottle number 5 of only 29 bottles.
