The partnership, announced today, will see Proof & Company take over as the national distributor for Waubs Harbour Distillery's three maritime single malt whiskies.
A family-owned and operated distillery on the far east coast of Tasmania, Waubs Harbour is the brainchild of Rob Polmear (ex-Lark Distillery Head of Production & Overeem Whisky Head Distiller), his brother Tim and sister-in-law Bec.
Inspired to make meticulously crafted premium whiskies matured and bottled just metres from the ocean, the Polmears have brought a fireside dream from 2017 to life in just a few short years.
Damian Kaehler, General Manager of Proof & Company, said the partnership is a natural pairing between two independent and passionate teams.
"I am proud to welcome Waubs Harbour to the Proof & Company family. Their dedication to producing an exceptional maritime single malt whisky, rooted deeply in the rich provenance of Tasmania, perfectly aligns with our commitment to craft and quality.
"It's a testament to their courage and meticulous approach that they've harnessed the rugged beauty of Tasmania, distilling not just whisky but the very essence of its origin. Here's to celebrating what makes Tasmanian whisky rare, premium, and unparalleled," he said.
Waubs Harbour will join Proof & Company's portfolio of premium brands that include: Ferrand Cognac, Plantation Rum, Never Never Distilling Co Gin, The Everleigh Bottling Co., Mancino Vermouth, Arquitecto Tequila and more.
Tim Polmear said: "Waubs Harbour is thrilled to be partnering with a well-respected company that has similar high standards to our own. We look forward to building Waubs Harbour together domestically in Australia and beyond."
