We’re excited to be part of this collaboration and can’t wait for a fantastic evening with Kelp & Casks aboard Mures Upper Deck.

Our Head Distiller, Rob, will be joining the dinner to guide guests through the whisky journey, sharing insights into the craft and stories behind each pour. It’s a wonderful opportunity to ask questions directly to the maker and gain a deeper appreciation of Tasmanian whisky.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The third Kelp & Casks event is fast approaching on Wednesday 1st of July, and this time we are featuring the great pours of Old Kempton Distillery.

Old Kempton Distillery is located in an 1840s mansion called Dysart House, in the picturesque colonial town of Kempton. Selecting local Tasmanian ingredients for the distilling process, and finishing each bottle by hand, produces a product that is a testament to Tasmania’s rich heritage and craftsmanship.

This spirited evening pairs Old Kempton’s distinctive drams with Kelp Bar’s premium seafood menu, featuring fresh hook-to-plate catch and seasonal bites from the Executive Chef. Tastings will be hosted by the distillers themselves, making it a great experience for both whisky connoisseurs and curious newcomers.

$99 per person | Wed 1st July | Kelp Bar, top floor of Mures

Sarah and Konnor had a fantastic first session at Whisky Live Brisbane last night, with plenty of great conversations and even better drams shared.

We've got two more sessions today and can't wait to meet more whisky lovers, pour some of our favourite whiskies, and share a taste of Tasmania with you all.

Don't forget, Konnor will also be hosting a masterclass in both sessions today, diving deeper into the stories, casks, and craftsmanship behind Old Kempton whisky.

If you're attending Whisky Live, be sure to stop by and say hello. We look forward to seeing you there!
