SULLIVANS COVE - 11 years - Australian Tawny Cask TD0305 - Artist 10th Anniversary International - 67.3%
The exclusive range Artist #10 International offers a rigorous selection of rare whiskies in limited and collector editions available only at La Maison du Whisky. To celebrate the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of this prestigious Artist collection, our team has highlighted iconic distilleries that, in less than twenty years, have established themselves as essential references in their respective countries: Japan, India, Australia, Wales, Taiwan, and France. This unprecedented opening to world whiskies is a true revolution in the independent bottlers' universe. This unique collection is also an invitation to discover their avant-garde vision through the richness and exceptional diversity of terroirs. The artistic works accompanying this first Artist International series were created by the talented Éric Robin, a painter recognized since the age of 9, famous for his large-format three-dimensional paintings. His creations, made from gold leaf papers, oxidized, painted, cut, and folded, captivate with their play of shadows, finely enhancing contrasts and the transparency of materials.
The Sullivans Cove Distillery was founded in 1994 on its historic site, the former Sullivans Cove brickworks, making it the second oldest whisky distillery in Tasmania. In 2004, the distillery was moved to its current site in Cambridge, where Patrick Maguire, master distiller, revitalized distillation techniques and meticulous cask selection. Initially little recognized, Sullivans Cove's reputation quickly improved from 1999 under new management, culminating in 2007 with a meteoric rise on the international scene. In 2014, its French Oak cask HH0525 was crowned best Single Malt in the world by the World Whiskies Awards, consolidating the distillery's global reputation. In 2016, it was taken over by a group led by Adam Sable, former manager of the Scottish distillery Bladnoch, located in the Lowlands region, thus strengthening its expertise and international influence.
This exceptional expression of Sullivans Cove comes from a distillation carried out in 2008 and matured in a unique cask that previously held Australian Tawny (a noble grape variety close to Port). This Single Cask (#TD0305) was aged for 11 years with a limited release of only 336 bottles, offering a rare whisky with a deep and complex character, acclaimed by connoisseurs worldwide.
