CRADLE MOUNTAIN WHISKY
Time and quality is our whisky philosophy
Our whisky is made in the North-West of Tasmania, a small island just a hop down south of the Australian Continent. To this day, Tasmania remains a land of pristine wilderness, fertile soils and unspoiled waters.
Our story began in 1989, when the founders of Cradle Mountain Whisky recognized that the rich volcanic soil of North Tasmania gave a particular life to the quality of the grain found in the region. They found that by combining the local grains with the water collected from the foothills of the Tasmanian Highlands that they were able to produce an incredibly fine single malt whisky. Cradle Mountain Whisky began distilling in 1989 making it the first and oldest commercial whisky distillery in Australia.

The Cradle Glass
THE CRADLE GLASS
"Enhancing the whisky experience."
The Cradle Glass reduces the alcohol fumes and the burn to your nose, by way of the shape, curves and design.
When the alcohol fumes are expelled in a high ABV whisky, it allows all the subtle back-notes to appear allowing the drinker to identify and appreciate the full aroma of the whisky. This glass will enhance the way you nose and taste whisky. Designed by our distillers. Traditionally hand blown.
