The 2014 World Whiskey Awards were announced yesterday (of course this was in London because a vote in Scotland would stand a good chance of being compromised).
A Tasmanian Whiskey won the award for the best Single Malt!!!! Some are hoping that this may do more for Tasmania than the Tasmanian Devil never could.
It’s probably all Alex Salmond’s fault.
I have yet to try any of the award winners.
SMH: Sullivan’s Cove’s French Oak Cask variety was judged the global winner, as well as Australia’s best, from a high-quality pool of single malt entries. They included Scotland’s Bunnahabain, Aberfeldy, Glenkinchie and Glenlivet distilleries, as well as Japanese powerhouse Yamazaki.
The World Whiskies Award is considered the most prestigious in the world for whisky producers and the manager and part-owner of Sullivan’s Cove, Patrick Maguire, said it would put Australia and Tasmania firmly on the world whisky map.
