At the 2026 Icons of Whisky Awards, two members of the Sullivans Cove team were recognised on the global stage.
Heather Tillott, Director of Whisky Creation, was named Global Innovator Manager of the Year. An award acknowledging innovation within restraint and constraint, grounded in carefully developed processes around cask management, maturation control, and quality oversight. The quiet, compounding work that underpins consistency, longevity, and world-class outcomes. Innovation measured in decades.
Marcelo Viapiana, Supply Chain Manager, was named Global Warehouse Manager of the Year. Recognition of the work that underpins every release at Sullivans Cove, from logistics and compliance through to final dispatch. A role critical to safeguarding some of Australia’s most rare and valuable whiskies.
Work defined not by visibility, but by precision, consistency, and trust.
