Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak Second Fill Single Cask Single Malt Whisky 700ml (TD0048)

Description

Product Description A 16-year-old Tasmanian rarity—the soul of Sullivans Cove laid bare. Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak TD0048 is a landmark release: the distillery’s first TD cask in its prestigious Old & Rare series and, at over 16 years old, the oldest second-fill ever bottled by the house. Aged entirely in a 300L American oak cask that once held another Sullivans Cove single malt, this whisky delivers astonishing texture, complexity, and length. Just 406 bottles were drawn—each one a chapter of Australian whisky history. Second-fill casks like this reveal the true heart of Sullivans Cove’s spirit. These barrels have never held bourbon or sherry—only Sullivans whisky—allowing the native esters from the copper still Myrtle to shine through, untouched by aggressive oak. The result is a whisky in balance: soft yet structured, rich yet refined. It speaks in silences as much as flavours, with layers that develop long after the last sip. Each bottle comes housed in a hand-crafted walnut case with signed authentication—an heirloom-level release for serious collectors and lovers of true craft distilling. Tasting Notes NOSE – Deep and restrained Soft oak, light fruit esters, and a mellow warmth rise gently from the glass. PALATE – Harmonious and evolving Balanced and elegant, with understated spice, orchard fruit, and a flicker of polished wood. FINISH – Long and expressive Oak builds beautifully in the fade, drawing the palate out with grace and poise. Reviews & Accolades The scales are very well balanced on this one… And the way the oak develops during the finish, just when you don’t want to let go, keeping the show going; it brings another season to binge on, and we love it.” – Heather Tillott, Head Distiller Bottling Information Barrel No. – TD0048 Bottle No. – 112 of 406 Filled On – 18/10/2005 Decanted On – 11/11/2021 The Fine Details Style – Whisky Country – Australia Region – Tasmania Bottle Size – 700ml ABV – 48%
