The whisky Isle’s legendary winter festival Dark Mofo 2022 has kicked off. And one of the festival’s most beloved and enduring events, the Winter Feast, swung open its doors this week to welcome thousands of revellers to lap up the very best Tassie, food, beer, wine and of course — spirits.

We rugged up and braved the cold to check out some of the special release whiskies and spirits of the Winter Feast. So, if you're in Hobart for the festivities, make sure you check these out. 

Dark Mofo’s in full swing! The two-week winter festival will light up Hobart from 8-22 June. We’ve had requests from Members visiting the whisky isle for the lowdown on Tassie’s annual winter event. So, make sure you factor in some time between distillery tours to check out some of the festivities.

That means more whisky! Winning.
