  • As the son of a miller he brought his own mill with him on the voyage including the French Burr mill stones, still in operation today

17

==> picture [297 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

HISTORY OF NANT cont’d

  • Mill stones were found 200 years later at the bottom of mill pond during restoration they are now the only water powered flour mill still in commercial operation in Australia

  • By the early 19[th] century there were 16 whisky distilleries in Tasmania until Governor John Franklin shut them down and Australia didn’t start producing whisky again for another 150 years in 1991

18

==> picture [290 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

WHISKY

  • The Nant water comes from the Central Plateau of Tasmania which is made up of 3000 lakes

  • Nant uses traditional copper pot distillation methods and timber wash backs

  • Nant is the only distillery in the Tasmanian Highlands of its kind

  • Due to the smaller barrels Nant uses and the fluctuation of temperature from -12 to 30 degrees in a year 4-5 year old Nant whisky can be much like a 10-18 year old whisky from Scotland

22

==> picture [306 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

WHISKY cont’d

  • The Nant Bourbon casks are from Kentucky, Port casks from Portugal, Sherry casks from Spain and Pinot Noir casks from Tasmania

  • Subject to completion of the acquisition, Australian Whisky Holdings Limited will commission another increased capacity distillery in 2017 on the Nant site using the two Scottish made copper stills we will acquire
