Tim Duckett is the Director of Tasmanian Independent Bottlers, Tasmanian Heartwood Malt Whisky and Dark Angel Consulting. Tim is not a distiller. He is an Independent Bottler purchasing new make from 20 distilleries in Australia and New Zealand producing 25 different new makes, matured in 25 barrel types from 7 different worldwide cooperages. The first barrel was laid down in 1999. Bottling started in 2012. The quality and uniqueness of the whisky is internationally recognized.
Supporting Tim’s whisky habits was a 35 year career in Mining and Construction where he specialized, consulted and contracted in mine closure, habitat restoration and degraded land repair.
Tim was raised in Lileah, a dairy farmer’s son. Edith Creek Area School, Smithton High School, Hellyer College and on to the Uni of Tasmania where he studied Agricultural Science.
Some now say “he has retired”. Others (particularly him) saying “he is working harder now than ever”. But working with whisky : Is it really work?”. (His son says “ he doesn’t work at all”.)
