Our Distiller

Meet the guardian of Launceston Distillery, our head distiller Chris Condon. With a background in the pharmaceutical industry as a quality analyst, Chris crafts his whisky with fine attention to detail. He developed his love of brewing and distilling as a brewing team leader at Boags Brewery, before becoming the founding distiller at Nant Distillery from 2008 to 2011.

Chris and a dedicated team of friends then founded Launceston Distillery in his home town. Chris proudly upholds the heritage, tradition, and craftsmanship of the finest Scottish single malt whisky, leading the way for Launceston Distillery’s whisky-making future.

The Team

We’re a small team, but passionate about producing the finest quality Tasmanian single malt whisky.
