Heather Tillott of Sullivans Cove Distillery on making world-beating whisky

This week on the Drinks Adventures podcast I play a conversation with Heather Tillott, production manager at Sullivans Cove Distillery in Tasmania.
If you have any awareness of Australian whisky you've surely heard of Sullivans Cove, known internationally for some of the incredible accolades it's won in the last few years.
In March 2018, Sullivans Cove won World's Best Single Cask Single Malt at the highly prestigious World Whiskies Awards.
This followed the distiller's French Oak expression being named World's Best Single Malt outright at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014.
For an Aussie distiller to win one of these awards is remarkable, but two in such a short space of time is quite stupendous really.
Heather Tillott started in the beverage industry in wine production in the New South Wales Shoalhaven region.
She moved to Tasmania after a life change, thinking she would continue in wine. But a chance visit to Sullivans Cove put her on course to become a distiller.
I caught up with Heather at Sullivans Cove earlier this year.
