Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak 17 Year Old Single Cask

Buy Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak 17 Year Old Single Cask Online from KL Wine Merchants. Sullivan’s Cove Single Malt Tasmanian Whisky is made from barley grown exclusively in Tasmania. “The island’s deep red basalt soil, pure water, and mild temperatures create ideal barley for distillation. The island also has one of the oldest and strictest quarantine programs, ensuring the barley remains untainted.

After harvesting, we malt the barley at Cascade Brewery. Then, we mash and ferment the malted barley at Sullivan’s Cove Distillery using a unique yeast strain for our whisky. Finally, we 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 then it’s a good thing we are not accountants!”

The Old & Rare series holds their most precious whiskies. While they normally age their spirits between 10 and 12 years, some casks with exceptional qualities are singled out during maturation. These qualities make them suitable for longer aging periods, benefiting from the extended process. These Single Cask bottlings contain the oldest and rarest Australian whiskies.

This particular expression spent 17 years in its ex-bourbon American oak cask before we bottled it at 95 proof and labeled it by hand. We present the bottle in a unique wood box with a letter of authenticity signed by head distiller Patrick Maguire and production manager Heather Tillott.
