Description

Waubs Harbour Distillery Online Whisky Tasting

When: Tuesday December 5th 2023
Time: 7PM AEST
Where: Zoom Video Conference

From a young age, Rob Polmear (Head Distiller & Co-Founder, Waubs Harbour Distillery) was always a true Tasmanian craftsman. He would make his own cheese, keep his own bees, grow his own mushrooms, brew his own beer and so it was no surprise he also had his own home made still. But then later after completing a Masters in Antarctic Science at University, Rob took his love of science and craftsmanship to making whisky. He trained under Casey Overeem and eventually became Head Distiller at Overeem Whisky then onto Head of Production at Lark Distillery. Now as Head Distiller at Waubs Harbour, Rob combines his passion for whisky, science and Tasmanian maritime and has been there since the beginning as a co-founder.

The Waubs Harbour Distillery, which is situated in Bicheno on the far east coast of Tasmania, was once an old oyster hatchery. The distillery is set on the rocks with 5 salt laden bond rooms and a cooling system run entirely by the ocean. The in house lab allows the distillery to experiment with culturing their own yeasts to create particular flavour profiles to pair perfectly with selected casks. Each element of the distillation process, from making their own wash, to the shape of their custom designed stills, to the sensory driven cut points in their spirit, has an effect on the whisky and has been designed to create a spirit that is identifiably Waubs Harbour.

Join The Whisky Company and Rob Polmear to celebrate some of the spectacular whisky that is being created at the distillery. We’ll talk whisky, Tasmania, Waubs Harbour, Friendship and hopefully about that amazing Masters Rob holds.
