Sullivans Cove American Oak Ex-Bourbon Single Cask Single Malt Whisky 700ml (TD0341)

Description

Product Description: Classic oak meets Tasmanian clarity.Sullivans Cove TD0341 is a 14-year-old single malt matured in a first-fill American oak ex-bourbon cask—one of the distillery’s most lauded styles. Distilled in December 2008 and decanted in November 2023, this single cask yielded just 218 bottles at 47.1% ABV, capturing the precise moment where cask and spirit achieve balance. American oak frames the distillery’s fruit-forward spirit with vanilla, caramel, and gentle spice, while the bourbon pre-fill adds richness and length. TD0341 opens with leathery depth, planed wood and subtle tropical fruit, before gliding into a palate of citrus peel, malted milkshake and light smoke. The finish is long and structured—fresh, spiced, and harmoniously composed. This is the hallmark Sullivans Cove style—pure, expressive and distinctly Tasmanian, with every bottle a unique cask-driven experience.

Reviews + Accolades Leather and wood shavings from freshly cut wood. Like someone had just planed timber. Mahogany and nuts. The morning dew of summer meadows. Mild exotic fruits. Light vanilla. Floral, smooth, fruity and fresh! Smooth and strong with caramel and fresh oak. Lots of toffee, oily and full. Vanilla and wee smoke. Revisiting the dram gives me pineapple juice, crispy citrus and smooth vanilla. The vanilla notes are just perfect, like velvet on your palate. Sugar cane and milk toffee lingers nicely too. Superb whisky, fresh and versatile, characteristic and exotic! You can really sense that this Australian whisky was made with rainforest water. Everything is smoothly in balance, even though the palate is full of usually so dominant notes. – WhiskyRant.com, 99 Points. Very steady structurally; the oak is very well integrated into the spirit and never overbears. It’s wholesome (fruity) and treaty (sweet stuff), and all your classic milkshake flavours are in here! Fun, delicious, and very well put together.
