Sullivans Cove 2008 Artist Collection #10 over 10 Year Old

La Maison du Whisky, aka LMDW, was founded in 1956 by Georges Benitah and is now one of the largest whisky and rum importers and distributors in France, and known the world over. They opened their first shop in Paris at the legendary 20 Rue d'Anjou in 1968, importing their first Scotch malt whiskies in the 1970s. They are known for their expertise in not only Scotch, but Japanese whisky and rum too, and their collaborative bottlings, as well as their own independent labels like this one, are highly prized.

This is a 2008 vintage Sullivans Cove single malt from the Tasmania distillery. It was bottled from an Austrlian Tawny port cask in 2020.

Located on the south-eastern coast of the eponymous island, the Tasmania distillery was established in 1994 and is Australia’s second oldest operational distillery. A settlement at Sullivans Cove began when a group of military personal and convicts arrived on the west bank of the river Derwent in 1804. Having access to such pure water and fertile land, the cove was perfect for whisky production and by 1824 the settlement had sixteen legal distilleries. This was not to last thanks to Governor John Franklin, who barred the act of distillation in 1838 due to his belief that spirits were a bad influence on people. This period of prohibition lasted for over 150 years but finally, in 1994, Patrick Maguire founded Tasmania distillery. He would go on to enjoy great success and receive worldwide praise for his releases which include the now legendary French Oak single cask stock. Maguire eventually sold his distillery in 2016 to a family-owned company led by Adam Sable, the former general manager of Scotland’s Bladnoch distillery. Today the distillery is renamed after its acclaimed Sullivans Cove single malt brand, but also boasts a small profile of various other spirits, including brandy, gin and vodka.
