7K Distillery

We had long heard rumours and whispers of a whisky industry thriving at the bottom of the world. Stories creeping out of Oceania circulated the globe about whisky being made in all sorts of situations, legally and under the table. Our curiosity was piqued. Encouraged by the Philips of My Whisky Journeys, we set out for Tasmania to visit the enigmatic Tyler Clark. Coming face to face with his DIY distillery, located at the back of his grandmother's house, we were left pondering the question, is this a Tasmanian Al Capone?

All of that changed upon meeting Tyler. He spoke confidently of his craft, proudly giving us a tour through the design of his distillery shipping container. Thanks to his engineering background, Tyler had ingeniously modified the containers to fit one of his stills and the other as a bond store housing 100L casks and dry goods.

Before long, we had an answer to our question. This was no bootlegger ducking and diving. Instead, we found a professional, fully-fledged whisky distilling operation. In short, we had uncovered a hidden gem.

While we were there, several groups of visitors arrived to find out what Tyler was up to - it appeared Cask World were not alone in our curiosity! Since our visit, Tyler has grown the brand and matured the whisky to create his excellent 7K single malt bottlings. Expanding into a full-scale unit in Hobart, the business is alive and well, and Tyler’s bond store is growing. Perfectly positioned in one of the fastest-growing whisky regions on the planet, Tasmania, the 7K brand continues to gain popularity and recognition.

It was a pleasure to meet Tyler at the genesis of his container distillery and a joy to watch him plant deep roots and expand 7K. At Cask World, we are excited to own maturing casks of their single malt - you can, too. Join us!
