Australian Whisky
In 2014, a small Tasmanian distillery achieved what once seemed impossible: Sullivans Cove French Oak Cask was named "Best Single Malt in the World" at the World Whiskies Awards - ahead of Scotland, Ireland and Japan, and the first whisky ever to win the title without coming from one of the two traditional whisky superpowers. This success was also made possible by Bill Lark, who established modern Australian whisky production with the Lark Distillery in the early 1990s and has since been regarded as the "father of Australian whisky"; his colleague Patrick Maguire took over Sullivans Cove in 2003 and steadily built up production. What was long considered a hard-to-find rarity is now considerably more accessible: with Starward from Melbourne, Callington Mill and Morris from Victoria, and Hellyers Road from Tasmania, Australian whisky is now available in great variety and at fair prices.

How significant was the Sullivans Cove win in 2014, really?
It was the first time a whisky from outside Scotland, Ireland or Japan won the "World's Best Single Malt" title at the World Whiskies Awards - a sensation that Sullivans Cove confirmed with a second title in 2019.
Is Australian whisky still hard to get today?
Not to the extent it once was: brands like Starward, Callington Mill and Morris are now regularly available at reasonable prices, though older Tasmanian classics like Sullivans Cove remain rare and expensive.
