Should a Tasmanian distillery have spectacular views? Doesn’t hurt. Should a Tasmanian distillery grow its own barley and raise its own lamb and beef for the cafe? Doesn’t hurt. Should a Tasmanian distillery have a 200-year-old waterwheel flourmill on site? Again, doesn’t hurt.
How many Tasmanian distilleries have all these things? I can only think of one, and that’s Clyde Mill just outside the little town of Bothwell, Tasmania.
It’s only an hour outside Hobart and 200 years away.
Take the drive and go back in time, have a wonderful meal, and taste some fine Tasmanian spirits, made in one of the lovliest places on earth.
Clyde Mill, on the Clyde River. And while you’re there, watch for the Distillery Platypus, happily frolicking in the pond next to the mill. He shares the pond with a black swan, and they seem to get along quite well.
We’re looking for a good name for the platypus and are open to suggestions.
