Tasmania vs Scotland - Peated Whisky Event
About this Event
Tasmania vs Scotland: Battle of the Peat
Get ready for an unforgettable whisky showdown as Tasmania takes on Scotland in a peated whisky tasting unlike any other during Tasmanian Whisky Week.
Discover six exceptional smoky drams as Tasmanian favourites Captain Bligh's, Launceston Distillery, and Furneaux Distillery go head-to-head with Scottish peat champions Highland Park, Ledaig, and Lagavulin.
From the rugged islands of Scotland to the wild landscapes of Tasmania, explore how different climates, traditions, and production styles shape the character of peated whisky. Along the way, you'll hear the stories behind each distillery, compare contrasting styles of smoke, and decide for yourself which nation reigns supreme.
Whether you're a devoted peat lover or simply curious about smoky whisky, this relaxed and entertaining tasting promises great company, fascinating insights, and six memorable drams.
Will Tasmania defend home soil, or will Scotland prove why it's the spiritual home of peated whisky?
