Poltergeist Barrel Aged Gin

Like a genie in a bottle. We rested and aged our unfiltered gin in Oak Casks. The Oak influence has added multiple layers of complexity and maturity, resulting in a multi dimensional gin unparalleled in flavour intricacies. Poltergeist Barrel Aaged Gin small batch distilled, then barrel aged to add complexity. It exhibits class earthy flavours of juniper and Tasmanian Pepper berry, highlighted by notes of cola and oak drawn from the barrel. Best served over ice.

Poltergeist Citrus Gin

This gin 'dares to be different', it's bold and courageous. A true explosion of citron flavours. It is an audacious, adventurous and fearless gin. Poltergeist Citrus Gin bursts with citrus notes of lime and orange. This aromatic gin is perfectly served with a splash of your favourite tonic or soda or simple over ice.

Poltergeist Unfiltered Gin

Poltergeist Unfiltered, our signature gin, our flagship gin. Rest assured, the way we make our unfiltered gin has never changed and never will. It remains 'unfiltered' and 'unaltered' using the exactly same secret botanicals 'formula' as the Poltergeist gin you know and love. Distilled with love and passion, it's the spirit of Poltergeist. Produced in small batches, with a full flavour profile of all twelve botanicals. Earthy and robust with Tasmanian native pepper berries, citrus and nutty with a long lingering finish. Enjoy over ice, in a classic martini or a negroni.

With luxurious blends of flavours such as blackberry, dried figs, cinnamon, nuts, and chocolate, this vibrant whisky offers a silky-smooth finish.

Former Wardour Castle Inn Single Malt Whisky

The former Wardour Castle inn is the first stop in our heritage series which offers a tour through Oatlands' most iconic buildings weaving a tale of dark by deeply colourful history. Like their namesakes, each cask matured whisky in this series is complex, intriguing and essentially flavoured by time. The former Warder Castle Inn, now a two-storey stone residence, stands with a commanding presence at Oatlands’ Southern End. Its striking iron hip roof, carefully chiselled stone quoins, and a stately five-bay facade tells takes of a historical significance. Together with its stone outbuildings, the property forms a charming courtyard, echoing whispers of bygone merriment and revelry. Edmund White, The original innkeeper, was known for his generous spirit, stretching the licensing rules and turning the inn into a vibrant social hub, hosting committee meetings for the Oatlands races, public balls and even patrons resistant to leave after-hours with statements like, “Surely you won’t stop me now, I’ve come seven miles for this!” Today, as a private residence, this former inn still retains its historical charm reflected in the essence of this limited edition whisky - a tribute to resilience transformation, and enduring charisma.

Fusion Single Malt Whisky

Introducing a velvety rich single malt, dark in colour and matured in ex-fortified wine casks from Spain and Portugal.

Experience the delightful combination of cacao and dried fruits, followed by a tantalising finish of spice and vanilla. A melody of flavours that will leave you salivating.

Blue Lake Lodge Single Malt Whisky

Arthur's Lake is located 1042 meters above sea level in the central highlands rugged region of Tasmanian and is the pristine water source for Callington Mill Distillery's single malt whisky. Arthurs Lake is also home to Callington Mill Blue Lake Lodge - where we have been quietly maturing our whisky in the brooding climate and biodiversity of the Tasmanian wilderness. It is within this unspoiled setting that our whisky casks mature outside, soaking in the pure air and clean waters, imparting unique wild characteristics to our whisk of honey, butterscotch, luscious white flowers, coconuts, and vanilla. A nutty, layered and sweet romish approachable whisky with a nougat finish that just keeps going. Viscous, robust, complex - a wilderness that refuses to be tamed.

El Sol Single Malt Whisky

Matured in ex-Sherry fortified wine casks from Jerez, Spain, El Sol is a well-rounded, rich, smooth, and complex whisky that celebrates the bright summer sun of Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia. The oak casks, previously used for maturing a variety of Sherries such as Oloroso, Pedro Ximenez, Amontillado, Palo Cortado, Fino, and Moscatel, impart a luscious and full-textured profile to this single malt. El Sol boasts an enticing aroma of flavours of dried fruits, crème brûlée, coffee, cacao, and dark chocolate, culminating in a lingering finish that captivates the senses.

Quagmire Single Malt Whisky

Quagmire, our Peated Single Malt Whisky, emerges as an exploration beyond tradition.
