Sullivans Cove Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky Takes On USA
Building on its ever-growing global success, Sullivans Cove, the multi award winning Tasmanian Single Malt, is sending its first shipment to the USA this month. Currently exporting to ten countries across Europe, as well as Singapore and Canada, the USA is the next step in the international roll-out of the brand.
“Tasmanian whisky is really taking off across the world, mainly because of the hard work that the guys have been putting in here at home. We are starting to see a cult following for our whiskies and I am proud that Sullivans Cove is at the forefront of that movement”, said Patrick Maguire, Master Distiller of Sullivans Cove Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky. He added, “This is great news considering that the whisky category, and single malts in particular, continues to be the fastest growing spirits category globally.”
Sullivans Cove is one of the most highly awarded Tasmanian whiskies, consistently winning Gold at the world’s most prestigious blind tasting competitions including Jim Murray’s Liquid Gold Awards, The Spirits Business’s Spirits Masters and the World Whisky Awards.
About Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky:
Tasmania Distillery produces Sullivans Cove Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky. The distillery was established in 1994 on the banks of the River Derwent at Sullivans Cove, the site where the British planted their flag and began to build the settlement that became the City of Hobart, Australia’s second oldest city. The distillery named the whisky it produced ‘Sullivans Cove’ to acknowledge the history of the site and the place it was distilled.
Sullivans Cove Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky is double distilled using renowned Tasmanian barley with only the purest wilderness water from Tasmania’s local mountains and forests. Matured in hand selected oak casks and allowed to settle and clear naturally, the whiskies retain full, creamy and lingering flavours that are winning fans the world over. Each cask is bottled separately, yielding only around 450 bottles, making each bottle a rare item to own and enjoy.

Wine School of Philadelphia Hosts Napoleon’s Bottle, The Wines of an Empire
“Clearly, the pleasures wines afford are transitory – but so are those of the ballet, or of a musical performance. Wine is inspiring and adds greatly to the joy of living.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
As Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte ruled over almost every wine growing country in Europe, includ- ing France, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Have no doubt, he was also a great lover of the fermented grape. Along with the class, the audience will be sampling the wine styles that Napoleon loved and admired; including a taste of the very last wine he ever drank.
“Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of wine.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
The class is held on Friday, July 20th from 7:30pm – 9:30pm in the Bacchus Classroom at the Wine School of Philadelphia. The School is located at 127 S 22nd Street in Philadelphia’s post Rittenhouse neighborhood.
Tickets should be purchased prior to the class, and can be obtained online at www.vinology.com. Cost of the class is $54.98 which includes a tasting of at least seven wines.
