Buy Sullivans Cove American Oak Single Cask Online from KL Wine Merchants. Sullivans Cove Single Malt Tasmanian Whisky uses barley grown exclusively on the island of Tasmania. “The island’s deep red basalt soil, pure water, and mild temperatures produce ideal barley for distillation,” says Patrick Maguire, the distillery’s founder and master distiller, whose ancestors were convicts on the island. In addition, the island has one of the oldest and strictest quarantine programs in the world, ensuring that the barley remains untainted.

Once the barley is harvested, the team at Cascade Brewery malts it. The distillery then mashes and ferments the malted barley using a unique strain of yeast developed specifically for Sullivans Cove Whisky. Next, they distill the wash twice through a handmade copper-pot still. “The real trick is to cut the run short, capturing only the sweetest flavors and purest alcohol from the heart of the run,” says Maguire. “It’s not the most sensible approach by an accountant’s standards, but thankfully, we are not accountants!”

Their American Oak Single Cask is master distiller Patrick Maguire’s favorite expression and the one in their lineup to have garnered the most accolades over the years. As the first Australian whisky to win a Liquid Gold Award in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, this spirit ages for about 13 years in ex-bourbon casks before bottling at 95 proof. It’s a great showcase of the style of the distillery with its rich and creamy profile that has plenty of vanilla, caramel, and fruit notes.
