"Such impressive freshness to the aromas of pure mulberries, blackcurrants, blueberries, redcurrants and a swathe of roasting herbs, such as bay leaf and sage. Iodine and nori, too. The French oak is nicely subsumed already and there’s fruit purity that really sings here. The palate has a wealth of rich and ripe blue and black-fruit flavors with plenty of extract and depth on offer. This is an impressively bold, smoothly honed and focused cabernet. Fine, polished tannins frame the long finish. Drink over the next decade and more." - James Suckling, 97 Points

Grape: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Australia

Vine cuttings from South Africa were brought on the First Fleet (1788).

Nowadays, vineyards in Australia are grouped into Geographical Indications (GI), and classified into Zone, Region and Sub-Region.

There are more than 60 wine regions in Australia.
Australia’s wine regions are mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country. The three major wine regions by volume are South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria.

South Australia and New South Wales are known for their warmer climate varieties such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Victoria is known for cool climate-loving Pinot Noir.

This is a new range of Rum from Château du Breuil.
After distillation and maturation in their original country, all the rums are matured for several months in the cellars of the premium Calvados producer before being bottled. The refining by the Cellar Master is different for each origin.

THE MATURING OF THE CELLAR MASTER

This Australian rum has been matured for several months in the cellars of Château du Breuil. To give this rum a more complex aromatic palette and blend its tannins, the cellar master left it to rest in an American oak barrel that had previously contained a cognac-based spirit drink. A full rum with silky tannins.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Fawn orange reflection

NOSE: The nose offers woody and vanilla aromas, with notes of cedar, liquorice and caramel.

MOUTH: A floral expression on the iris and notes of licorice, honey, cocoa and cinnamon. Full on the palate, of good length, with silky tannins.

Tasmania
Tasmania

Tasmania, located 240 km to the south of the Australian mainland, was permanently settled in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire. Approximately 75,000 convicts there before transportation ceased in 1853.
Among the colonizing population were the Irish and Scottish who started to produce whisky. The first legal distillery was opened in 1822.
As the majority of the colony’s grain crops were being distilled rather than processed into food, placing the population on brink of famine, the Governor had no option but to outlaw in 1837.
Although the prohibition did assist in restoring the colony’s food stocks, it did not put an end to the distilling of whisky.
This prohibition would last for over 150 years but in 1990, Bill Lark managed to get the law overturned and established Lark distillery in 1992, launching the modern Tasmanian whisky industry.

Sullivans Cove

Sullivans Cove Distillery was established in 1994 at Sullivans Cove, making it the second oldest whisky distillery in Tasmania. In the early days, the reputation of the distillery was poor but in 1999 new ownership vastly improved the quality of the whisky being produced.

The recognition arrived in 2014 when Sullivans Cove became the first non-Scottish-or-Japanese holder of the title “World’s Best Single Malt Whisky” by the World Whiskies Awards. Whisky lovers started to put Tasmania on their map and Sullivans Cove on their list.

Sullivans Cove Whisky is double distilled using Tasmanian barley with only the purest wilderness local water. The whisky is then matured in oak casks and allowed to settle and clear naturally. That is why the single malts retain full, creamy and lingering flavours.
