Tas Whisky Week 2025 - Tas vs Japan

Two whisky worlds collide in this playful cross-cultural showdown.

Join us as we compare the precision and subtlety of Japanese whisky with the bold creativity of Tasmania’s own producers.

Presented in a guided tasting format, this event invites you to compare flavour profiles, production styles and cultural influences – before casting your vote on which side takes the crown.

Your expert guide for the event is Kevin Griffin of Beam-Suntory Australia. Kevin will select and share some special Japanese whiskies from the House of Suntory distilleries to contrast along some bold and storied Tasmanian expressions.
