Tasmanian Whisky
Our premium selection of whiskies at Fannys Bay Distillery, have been maturating in a variety of casks, from French Oak to ex-bourbon to Pinot Noir Barrels, our whiskies are made using the traditional Scottish method!
The Fannys Bay range of whiskies are described as a smooth, mature, full palate with a refreshing taste of our northern coastal waters.
Fannys Bay Artisan Distillery is situated on the windswept northern coast of Tasmania at the home of Mathew & Julie Cooper. The Coopers have brought whisky making to the northern region of Tasmania. In 2014 distilling commenced and the first barrel was put down in November of that year. Today the distillery’s production is well under way with a selection of Bourbon, Port, Sherry, Shiraz and Pinot barrels lying in bond.
Award Winning Tasmanian Whisky
What an exciting week for team Fannys Bay, not only did we win the “Entrepreneur of the Year” at the Business & Excellence awards, proudly sponsored by Bell Bay Aluminium.
We also won Silver for our Sherry aged cask, and Bronze for our Port aged cask, in the Perth Royal Distilled Spirits Awards in WA.
“Receiving a medal in any of our categories is one of the highest achievements for any producer to attain and I would like to convey my congratulations to each of our deserving winners.”
Paul Carter, President RASWA.
So proud to be part of team Fannys Bay, cheers Irene!

Tasmania has some of the purest sea breezes, assisting us in creating the unique flavours with saliferous undertones, which our customers have come to expect from Fannys Bay Distillery.
Mathew & Julie moved permanently to Tam O’Shanter in 2005 to fulfil their dream of a sea change; Mathew has had an affinity with Tam O’Shanter since his younger days when he would surf the breaks at Tama point.

Tasmanian Devils – by Rant and Whisky
Julie and Mathew are the most engaging of hosts. They are very proud to talk about their drams, their production methods and whisky in general. During an extremely pleasurable (and educative) couple hours in their company I tasted my way through four whiskies and a cup of coffee. Then, as a “leaving present”, they gave me a large sample of their latest, magnificent, pinot-matured whisky.
A TALE OF TWO FANNYS – Introducing our Fannie Bay Whisky
This is a story about a shipwreck and a beautiful opera singer. It is a story about the wild and rugged north coasts of Tasmania and the Top End. It is a story about passionate men, who share a love for the sea, it’s stories, surfing and a shot of fine whisky. It is a story about the two Fannys (a Fanny and a Fannie), which are the names of a unique and special beverage. And it is a story about connection.
