SULLIVAN'S COVE SPECIAL CASK EDITION TASMANIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY – LIMITED EDITION

Bottle 405 of 536 | 700ml

From one of Australia's most celebrated whisky distilleries comes an exceptionally rare single cask release that showcases the craftsmanship and individuality for which Sullivan's Cove has become world-renowned. This Special Cask Edition was distilled on 11 April 2008 and patiently matured for more than a decade before being decanted on 24 October 2018, producing a mere 536 bottles worldwide from the single cask. Offered here is Bottle No. 405, presented sealed in its original box.

Drawn exclusively from Barrel TD0263, this release represents the first-ever Special Cask Edition matured in a French Oak Apera cask. The Australian fortified wine-seasoned oak imparts remarkable richness and complexity, creating a whisky of exceptional depth while allowing the distillery's elegant Tasmanian spirit to remain beautifully defined. Bottled at 44.8% ABV, it has become one of the most sought-after releases among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The nose opens with inviting aromas of apricot jam, ripe nectarines, baked apple, toasted malt and buttery caramel, complemented by delicate spice and subtle nutty undertones. The palate is luxuriously creamy and full-bodied, revealing layers of Maltesers, caramel, dried fig, cocoa-dusted stone fruit, clove and a gentle touch of sea salt. The finish is long and elegant, lingering with notes of dulce de leche, bread-and-butter pudding, cocoa, toasted marshmallow and refined oak spice, delivering a whisky that is both decadent and impeccably balanced.

With its extremely limited outturn, distinctive maturation regime and provenance from one of Tasmania's most acclaimed distilleries, this Special Cask Edition offers a compelling opportunity for serious collectors, investors and connoisseurs seeking a landmark Australian single malt.

Lot comprises one sealed 700ml bottle presented in its original box.
