Arguably Australia’s number one whisky distillery, Sullivans Cove was originally founded in 1994 as the Tamania Distillery just outside of Hobart. Second only to Lark in 1992, it is one of the oldest distilleries in Australia’s modern whisky producing revolution and experienced a somewhat tumultuous period throughout its early life. A brandy still was commissioned for Sullivans and began operation shortly after, generating everything from liquors to brandy and gin. Due to poor financial decision making from the initial owners, Sullivans Cove failed in 1999 before being purchased by a new set of investors. Seeing the potential in the distillery and the progress that Bill Lark had made at the new Lark distillery, they hired him to be distillery manager and help turn the business into a quality single malt producer. Whilst Bill was at the helm of Sullivans Cove, it was ultimately his friend Patrick Maguire, whom he had brought along from the Lark distillery, that would prove to be the biggest factor for the distillery’s long term success. After the business again failed in 2003, Patrick purchased the entire business and became owner, distiller and general manager of Sullivans Cove.
