About Clyde Mill Distillery, Bothwell Tasmania
Clyde Mill is where Tasmania’s past meets its future. Set in a heritage-listed 1823 flour mill, our distillery, cafe and bond stores honour tradition while crafting new stories in whisky and gin for our community.
From Farm to Mill to Distillery
Once powered by the Clyde River, the original flour mill is nestled within Nant Estate, a 4,000-acre working farm in Bothwell, primarily farming sheep and crops.
In 2004 Nant Distillery was created and became known for the quality of its whiskies and the unique on-site experience.
After multiple changes of hands the buildings lay dormant for several years, recently renewed by the Ramsay family.
The Distillery
We make single malt whisky and gin in small batches, using grain grown close to home and water drawn from the Tasmanian Highlands. The cold climate and long, slow maturation in the valley draws character into every cask in a way you cannot replicate anywhere else.
Our whisky is aged on site, with each release reflecting the season and the cask it came from. Our gins are built around bright citrus and native botanicals, made to be enjoyed fresh at the cellar door.
Every bottle leaves Bothwell with the story of this place in it.
Whisky and Gin, Reimagined
From bold single malts to bright citrus gins, our spirits are shaped by the highlands, crafted with care and made to be shared. Each bottle reflects the balance of heritage and innovation that defines Clyde Mill.

The Family Behind Clyde Mill
Local Bothwell farmers Annie and John Ramsay, and their children Alex, Henry, William and Matilda have revitalised Nant Estate’s distillery and restaurant, reclaiming it as Clyde Mill.
The Ramsays purchased the property for its grazing benefits but have turned their hand to spirits and revived the venue.
The
Nant Estate Story
The name Nant has been part of Tasmania’s history for more than two centuries. Nant Estate was established in 1821 by Edward Nicholas, a settler from Monmouthshire in Wales. He named it Nant after his home, with the Welsh word nant meaning stream or brook — a fitting reference to the waters of the Clyde River flowing through the property.
