TASTING NOTES

Hobart No.4 is a Tasmanian Single Malt Gin enriched with four native Australian botanicals – lemon myrtle, anise myrtle, wattleseed and Tasmanian pepperberry. During the colonial era in Hobart, gins were made using malted barley spirit, but this practice was lost as more efficient distillation methods were developed. This gin harks back to this old fashioned style, made with exactly the same single malt spirit they use for their award winning whiskies, double distilled from 100% Tasmanian barley.

DISTILLERY SNAPSHOT

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

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2004, the distillery moved to its current location in Cambridge and their current head distiller Patrick Maguire took over distillation and cask selection. By 2007, Sullivans Cove started to gain international recognition with their American Oak winning Best Other Malt (whiskies outside of Scotland) at the World Whiskies Awards and Liquid Gold (95/100) in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
