Adams Distillery

The Adams Distillery was established in 2015 by two mates, Adam Pinkard and Adam Saunders in Tasmania. In Early 2016, the two friends ran into a major hurdle when the property they had acquired to house their distillery was rejected by Launceston council with a majority vote. The disappointment was soon met with absolute elation when the owner of Glen Ireh Estate (35 Drummond Street Perth, Tasmania) agreed to have them build the distillery on his sprawling acreage. Bernie, the property owner was so impressed with Adams & Adams business plan, he also became an equal partner.

Then in 2019, and after a multiple stage expansion plan, the distillery now has the capacity to produce 1,000,000 litres of whisky a year, with a first-stage 800L per day spirit production capacity.

Disaster struck in February 2021, when a fire destroyed the distillery, leaving ashes and crushed dreams. Fortunately, the maturing whisky stocks were not affected by the disaster and the team, strengthened by the addition of new investors, resolved to build anew with impetus added to this resolve. Adams Distillery has risen from the ashes and enters a new era with renewed vigor and a vision that includes an expanded offering of premium craft whisky, gin and other spirits available throughout Australia and selected markets worldwide.
