In the heart of Hobart, Tasmania, Taylor & Smith Distilling Co. is quietly redefining what it means to craft spirits. Founded by artist Natalie Smith and distiller Ben Taylor, this independent distillery is built on curiosity, creativity, and a deep respect for the island’s untamed natural beauty.

What began with humble exchanges—homemade gin for backyard lemons and cumquats—evolved into a hands-on, small-batch operation guided by intuition and experimentation. Every bottle tells a story of landscape and locality, distilled with pristine snowmelt water from Mount Field National Park and infused with native botanicals like Tasmanian pepperberry, Huon pine, and even abalone shell.

Taylor & Smith’s lineup is anything but ordinary. Their Abalone Shell Gin captures the essence of the sea; the Honey Gin is rich, warm, and floral; and their evolving Single Malt Whisky pays homage to Tasmania’s vibrant whisky scene. Each spirit is made in-house, from fermentation to distillation to bottling—ensuring integrity at every step.

Rooted in sustainability and community, Taylor & Smith work closely with local growers, artisans, and First Nations partners to honour the land they distill from. This is not just distilling—it’s storytelling. And in every pour, you’ll find Tasmania’s wild soul, quiet strength, and unmistakable flavour.
