Distiller Dean Jackson (L) and co-worker Phil Fitzpatrick check the color of a batch of whiskey in the barrel storage shed at Redlands Distillery, located on the outskirts of Hobart in Tasmania June 3, 2014. The rapidly growing whisky industry is one of a number of niche producers in Tasmania taking advantage of the export gold star afforded by the state's genetically modified organism free status. From a standing start just over two decades ago, there are now eight distilleries across the island, with one earlier this year, Sullivans Cove distillery, being named best single malt at the prestigious World Whisky Awards in London, a prize that has been dominated by Scottish and Japanese distilleries.
