Be part of history and partake in the rise of Australian single malts by joining our whisky subscription
Australia has firmly established itself on the global whisky map, with its single malt whiskies earning accolades and admiration from enthusiasts and experts alike. The story of Australian single malt whisky begins with visionary distilleries like Lark Distillery and Sullivan’s Cove, which sparked a revolution in the nation’s whisky industry.
Before their emergence, Australia’s whisky scene was virtually non-existent, largely due to outdated laws that made small-scale distillation impractical. In 1992, Bill Lark, often referred to as the “Godfather of Australian Whisky,” successfully lobbied for legal changes, paving the way for a new era of artisanal distilling. Lark Distillery became a trailblazer, combining traditional methods with innovative approaches tailored to Australia’s unique climate and ingredients. Its small-batch single malts quickly gained recognition for their exceptional quality, establishing a foundation for the industry.
Not far behind, Sullivan’s Cove rose to prominence, cementing Australia’s reputation as a whisky powerhouse. Known for its meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality, Sullivan’s Cove made history in 2014 when its French Oak Single Cask was named World’s Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards. This landmark achievement catapulted Australian whisky onto the international stage, inspiring countless new distilleries and proving that Australian single malts could rival the best in the world.
Together, these pioneering distilleries set a high standard for quality and innovation, sparking a renaissance in Australian whisky-making. Their success not only ignited a passion for whisky across the country but also encouraged the establishment of new distilleries that continue to push boundaries and redefine what Australian single malts can achieve.
