Sullivans Cove

Sullivans Cove is the name most Australian whisky conversations circle back to — founded in Hobart in 1994 and now distilling from Cambridge, Tasmania, on a foundation of local barley, slow production and full-size cask maturation.

If you're exploring Australian whisky, Sullivans Cove is where the conversation usually starts. Founded in Hobart in 1994 and now based in Cambridge, Tasmania, the distillery has spent three decades shaping how local single malt is understood — with an emphasis on provenance that's earned it a reputation well beyond Australia's borders.

The production approach is deliberately unhurried: Tasmanian barley and water, slow fermentation, double distillation through worm tub condensers, and maturation in full-size casks rather than smaller, faster-maturing formats. Bottling follows the cask, not a calendar — batches are released when they're ready, not to a fixed schedule.

That approach shows up across a clearly structured range: Double Cask, American Oak, French Oak and Old & Rare each represent a different cask story, best compared side by side rather than treated as interchangeable versions of one house style.

Take a look through what is currently available — Double Cask, American Oak, French Oak or Old & Rare — each with its own cask, age and batch detail set out on the bottle listing itself.
