Killara Distillery
The Killara distillery is located at 32 Ogilvie Lane Richmond, about 30min out from Hobart in Tasmania. It’s owned and operated by Kristy Lark-Booth, a second-generation distiller with over 20 years’ experience in the distilling industry having worked for many years at her parents’ business ‘Lark Distillery’ as both the head distiller and general manager. During her time there, the whisky that Kristy produced won numerous awards both nationally and internationally. So, in 2016 it was inevitable that Kristy would branch out on her own and continue the family tradition of producing hand crafted premium spirits.

Krist Lark-Booth comments.
“The still I have chosen is similar to the one that stood outside my bedroom as I grew up and prompted me to join the family business all those years ago. My 600-litre copper pot still was made in Hobart by Aircon Industries in a traditional, but not usual shape, with the condenser being at the top of the still rather than at the side. This produces a smooth distinct spirit that I love sharing with you all”

Today, Killara Distillery is a successful and well-established business, revered by many Aussie whisky enthusiasts who follow the distillery with passion and cult like rigor.
