Mofo

Dark Mofo is back for 2021 and with it comes our 2021 Dark Mofo editions!!!

This year our bottles have met with foul play. Most have been left in a bloodied mess and police are currently investigating the cause. The perpetrator leaves his calling card as a bloodied crucifix type symbol on his bottle victims.

If you would like one of these bottle victims, they will only be available for purchase during the month of June!

After June you will not see them again and they will move onto the missing bottle list forever!

——

Where it all began. Most distilleries take just under half their yield but we like minimal impurities and maximum quality, so we only use the best 10 percent of each distillate. We’re left with small batches of double-distilled, unfiltered deliciousness that we pop into bottles, sign off and send to you.

A beautiful, delicate kinda brown sugary sweetness on the nose with a delightful floral undertone. A bit apples and pears to start, rounded out with hints of wild spice and mineral freshness. She’s a complex character with a velvety body and a smooth attitude to boot.

Smooth Vodka!

I first bought this Vodka about 5 years ago during a trip to Hobart when I tasted it neat at a ferry pier after disembarking from a cruise ship. Very smooth and instantly grabbed a bottle. This purchase was a gift for my mother who drinks Vodka and my birthday message was written on the bottle itself! So cool and looked amazing! If u like Vodka or want to buy Vodka for someone as a gift, this is the place to do just that! You will be impressed!

Best Gin by a long whey

You will be looking for an orGINal review, but before you beGIN to think I am just some punny guy. You have to try this inGINious variety from our southern friends. Fresh, sweet blend of botanicals with what I can only describe as “hubba bubba” flavour. One for the top shelf!

Favourite Gin of all time

First tried this gin when driving around TAS and stumbled across the distillery. Immediately purchased a bottle. Then once that was finished I ordered a dark mofo edition. Now I’m ordering my third bottle. Seriously the best gin I’ve ever had. Smooth and velvety and very unique.

One the best Gin’s

I recently visited Tasmania, and discovered your Gin…what a discovery? I really love it, and love your story. I visited your stall at Salamanca markets and then your stand at Brooke st pier in which i chat with a person that told us a bit of your beginnings and your recent success in Japan and the UK. I have shared your gin with family friends and everyones loves it.
Next trip we will definitely visit you at your farm. All the best.

An amazingly sharp and smooth taste

My hunt for some unique and amazing tasting vodka from Australia has been an amazing journey. To stumble across this beautiful sharp yet smooth oak flavoured notes reminded me of a type of vodka id tried at a Polish wedding called Bimber.
This is served in a oak barrel with cold meats at a special table to share with others. While the Polish version perhaps packs a bit more of a abv punch this is reminiscent of that flavour and that moment but perhaps in a smooth way.
Thank you, I’ve asked many friends to try this and they have been amazed.

The sheep whey gin is spectacular. Just like Vegemite was a by-product of brewing beer, this gin starts with a by-product from sheep milk cheese. Really have to admire the ingenuity.

Buy two bottles, always have a stash, it’s that good.

I travel international for work so always like to sample different gin from around the world, I was given a bottle of Sheep Whey as a present one year and Wow.

I no longer add to the random duty free collection. Sheep Whey beats the lot.

Well done Ryan & Co.

Great range of products

Since visiting the distillery on a trip to Tasmania in 2017 I have purchased & tasted most products including Whey-sky which is only released every 3 years & I have to say I really enjoy all of them with often giving family & friends different products as presents. I have to say that the best is by far the Whey-sky which is only shared on special occasions but the Vodkas & Gin are enjoyed all year round.
Prices & freight are very competitive allowing me to purchase all products except for the Whey-sky which I have to ration over the period between batches.
Would highly recommend Hartshorn Distillery products

This product is only released every 3-4 years l missed the previous one but was luckily able to purchase a bottle from the current batch. It is a different but wonderful taste & I will certainly buy a bottle from the next batch I just have to ration my current bottle until the next one is released.

My husband loves his gin and your distillery popped up on my timeline. I loved the special Xmas message you placed on the bottle which totally surprised him and he is finding your product smooth and lovely. To the point that he’s rationing it because he wants to enjoy every glass. Your gin was his choice to ring on the new year. Will definitely buy again.

Hartshorn Gin top shelf.

I am a collector and drinker of many Gins. There was a period of time where I would have available at home 18 different Gins. Since tasting Hartshorn Gin I have not wanted to drink many of my other Gins. I am now down to 5 Gins with Hartshorn being one of my two favourite Gins and this has been the case for 12 months now. I was excited to learn of Hartshorn recent success at the World Gin Awards.

It was so good I nearly cried

I bought a bottle of the 2nd batch when it came out last year and just got around to trying it. This sounds embarrassing but I nearly cried tasting it, it was so good.

I am normally a peaty/smokey whisky drinker but I’m such a fan of all of your products (have a collection of special edition bottles of your gin and vodka) I decided to invest in a bottle for my collection. I’m so glad I did but now regret not buying two. I’m not sure if anyone has reviewed the taste but my experience so far…

Sharp/crisp on the first sip then very quickly mellows to give off a smooth, light caramel then vanilla after-taste. I tried it over a large block of ice and each sip had more depth and aroma. The caramel and vanilla layers were very distinct and smooth.

As a scot I’ve tried a lot of whisky and generally tend to go for an older smokey taste but this is in my top two favourite whiskies ever. (The other being a red gum smoked whisky by Archie Rose).

Cheers Irene

A Gin collectors favorite.

I just counted the various makers Gins in my collection. There are 13 and that is probably 10 to many now that I have started to settle. I just topped up my Sheep Whey Gin with another 3x 700ml bottles.
I tend not to bring out the Sheep Whey if I have two many friends over taking that opportunity to reduce the range of Gins that I have. There are Gins now that I have moved on from. I don’t believe I will ever move on from Hartshorn’s Gin, it is a premium Gin.
I am pleased that the Hartshorn team are winning awards for their Gin. It would be wonderful to see available 1 litre bottles.

Bloody beautiful

What an incredible bevy from bottle to brew it was the drink that got me on through. I admit to being a sucker for a classy bottle and you didn’t disappoint with the matte black and clear sneak peak at the base of the bottle. I don’t know if this is good or bad but this gem lasted a week and what a week it was. What an aroma, i have never experienced a vodka like it and doubt i ever will again unril my next order😉. I’ve heard both Napolean and the Queen were fans and if that isn’t a recommendation i don’t know what is. Smooth with a beautiful nose that leaves Bill Lawry in the weeds.

The most amazing vodka I’ve experienced I look no further

Since I discovered your product in a Dan Murphys store whilst I was in my experiment/taste testing phase looking for the vodka of choice I have immediately become addicted to this awesome flavour. I’m am now looking at indulging in a trial of the gin and a finger lime infused vodka. I ran dry my local Dan store and others close don’t hold stock atm so I have enjoyed the experience of buying direct, fast friendly and awesome staff getting my order processed and on its way to me. I’m very doubtful I need to quest further for any other vodka this is my one. I also love your philosophy of no crap added thst I love. Thank you for an amazing product and I shall continue to enjoy purchasing from you.

I love a dirty gin martini. I love a peated whisky. The Peat Smoked Vodka gives me the best combination of the two and created another love! It makes an outstanding martini (as well as being a great vodka for so many other cocktails). Before we got to the bottom of the first bottle we were already ordering a replacement.
