Ken Gargett Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 wondering if those who have tried these brandies from tasmanian (and they are probably better known for their whiskies), had any thoughts? they have been extremely successfully internationally.

I think Sullivan's Cove is the only distillery on Tasmania. I've sampled their whiskey, quite fine but expensive. Worth trying out at MSRP looking at the rest of the whiskey world, ignoring the values that you can pickup easy. The brandy is very expensive from what I see, and I've only come across closed bottles, alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some good Tasmanian pinots and sparklers, but yeah, not the 'best.' Geopolitical economic trends indicate USA distribution should trend up for things like this, but as most English heritage distilleries are heavy on gins, there's limited distribution due to top level thinking and ego driven relationships. It's never about quality of product, just money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Çnote Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Lark! - forgot about this one. Incredibly high quality, absolutely delish. Impossible to find now in USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hayes Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've only had Sullivan's Cove whisky once at Heston's restaurant in Melbourne. From memory it was slightly floral in nature and very good but I was also a bit drunk so it probably wasn't the best time to try it. I have also tried Nant whisky which from memory had a touch of honey characteristic. Didn't know about the Brandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
