SULLIVAN'S COVE AMERICAN OAK SINGLE CASK TASMANIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY – LIMITED EDITION
Bottle 273 of 531 | 700ml
A rare and exceptionally mature release from one of Australia's most celebrated whisky distilleries, this Sullivan's Cove American Oak Single Cask Tasmanian Single Malt is a superb expression of the craftsmanship and patience that have earned the distillery worldwide acclaim. Filled on 7 April 2000 and matured for more than 17 years before bottling on 22 May 2017, this outstanding whisky was drawn exclusively from Barrel HH0249, yielding 531 bottles worldwide. Offered here is Bottle No. 273.
Matured in a first-fill American oak ex-Bourbon cask, Barrel HH0249 beautifully showcases the hallmark style that has made Sullivan's Cove's American Oak releases among the most awarded and sought-after Australian single malts. The extended maturation has allowed the whisky to develop remarkable depth while retaining the vibrant fruit character of the spirit, with the American oak contributing classic notes of vanilla, caramel, honey and toasted coconut. As with every Sullivan's Cove single cask release, this bottling captures the unique character of one individual barrel and can never be replicated.
The nose is rich and expressive, opening with aromas of vanilla bean, honeycomb, ripe pear and baked apple, layered with notes of crème brûlée, butterscotch, toasted coconut and delicate oak spice. The palate is luxuriously smooth and full-bodied, revealing flavours of salted caramel, stone fruits, malted biscuits, roasted macadamia and creamy milk chocolate, complemented by hints of orange zest, cinnamon and polished American oak. The finish is exceptionally long and elegant, lingering with impressions of warm vanilla, honeyed malt, toasted coconut and gentle baking spice, leaving a refined and memorable conclusion.
Filled during 2000, this release represents spirit from Sullivan's Cove's earliest production years, making it particularly significant for collectors seeking historic bottlings from the distillery's award-winning cask programme. With over 17 years of maturation, a limited outturn of 531 bottles, and provenance from one of the world's most highly awarded whisky producers, American Oak Single Cask HH0249 is an outstanding acquisition for collectors, investors and connoisseurs of premium Australian single malt whisky.
Approximate Original Release RRP: AUD $800 (based on comparable 17-year-old Sullivan's Cove American Oak single cask releases from the same era).
