Cask number TD0444 was distilled in October of 2013 and decanted in February of this year, maturing at 9 years and 3 months, in a single 200-litre, American oak ex-bourbon cask. Yielding 191 bottles in total, this whisky is bottled at a natural cask strength of 66.9%.

"There’s no misunderstanding why TD0444 was chosen to be the first Sullivans Cove Cask Strength bottling in 5 years. Full of flavour and force, it is a glass you want to sit on for hours. TD0444 - at an astounding ABV of 66.9% - provides the vast spectrum available to experience from one Sullivans Cove single cask, at the ABV you choose, or in the glorious full noise of natural cask strength. A genuine treasure."
- Miranda Lidgerwood, Sensory and Marketing

Strictly limited to one bottle per person.

American Oak ex-Bourbon

Our American Oak ex-Bourbon single casks are some of our most awarded and esteemed expressions. Aged in 200L American Oak ex-Bourbon casks, this oak varietal beautifully enhances our distinctive and fruity spirit. With a robust malt base, it unfolds layers of vanilla, caramel, coconut, fruit, and delicate hints of white floral and herbal notes. As single cask bottlings, every batch presents distinct nuances, reflecting the character of each barrel.

Nose

A bold spirit-forward entry greets you with waves of warm tropical fruit juice, incense smoked pineapple chunks and Nocino – the Italian spicy, sweet and slightly bitter walnut liqueur. After the initial waft has blown away there are notes of imperial stout, hazelnut cream and fresh earth. The middle notes brings waves of powerfully decadent American oak; cacao nibs, brown sugar salted caramel, custard buns with coconut icing and 95% dark chocolate. The spirit remains viscous and vibrant with layered tropical fruit nuances, and the oak profile opens with time to take on more confectionary qualities (creaming soda and pink musk lollies).

Palate

Transitioning with oomph (note: technical term), the palate immediately strikes you with an incredibly thick, silky texture; balanced by a pucker of oak grip, and followed by lemon sherbet. The middle palate brings loads of silky tropical fruits, a pop of Parma Violets, warm ginger and generous baking spices provided by the American oak. Incredibly lush, the palate continues on to provide condensed milk and lots of sweet grass, as the oak grip loosens and becomes more perfumed with each moment in the glass (amber, sandalwood, cedar) and a green, peppery and grassy back palate sees you to the finish.

Finish

With the aromatic oak spices still lingering in the air, the finish brings grounding, round and full notes of fatty macadamia nut and cinnamon toast with salted butter. The grassy and herbal note from the palate sustains with an added waxy nuance, as lavender and sage see the finish out with generous length.
