We’re joined this episode by John Slattery, co-founder of Greenbanks Tasmanian Whisky Co.

Greenbanks started production in late 2023 with Tasmania’s largest capacity still that is fully optimised for producing whisky of all styles.

In fact, the capacity of the production still at Greenbanks exceeds the combined capacity of all other whisky distilleries on the island.

This scale is designed to support Greenbanks’ goal of producing a Tasmanian whisky that can hit shelves at the globally competitive price of around $80 for a 700ml bottle.

And this scale, combined with other efficiencies, means Greenbanks can offer accessibly priced contract production services to its fellow Tasmanian distillers, along with aspiring whisky brands.

This is a special episode of Drinks Adventures, produced in partnership with Greenbanks.

Coming up, you’ll hear from John how he, Hugh Roxburgh and Tim Salt came together to found the business.

First up though, I wanted to find out a little bit more about how John originally found his way into the whisky industry.
