Unlike our standard American Oak single casks, which are aged in ex-Bourbon barrels, these single cask whiskies are matured in casks previously used to age an older batch of Sullivans Cove single malt. Originally commissioned in the mid 1990s as virgin casks, they were first filled with our single malt, then decanted, re-charred and refilled. Over a decade later, this whisky is the result, with a unique flavour profile of soft oak that really allows Sullivans Cove's unique spirit character to shine through.
American Oak Second Fill Single Cask TD0062 was distilled in November of 2005 and decanted in April of this 2021 maturing at fifteen years, in a single, 300L American oak cask previously filled with an older batch of Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky. Yielding 462 bottles at 47.5%.

Nose : Ripe pineapple, kiwi and frangipani jump out, with a broad base of custard apple and pineapple upside down cake. Remarkably complex fruit layer#P,& a bit deeper and there's the beautiful little red alpine strawberry flavour bombs. Biscuitty, wet timber shavings, carob, and a hint of tobacco and light oud give a lovely earthy base. And somewhere in the middle is sugar, like a bag of hundreds and thousands.

Palate : Thick and lactic- the cream part of strawberries and cream lollies. Apricot jam, vanilla thickshake with a splash of caramel (who doesn't love a mixed shake), and buttery shortbread. Milk choc, and fatty nuts (Brazil nuts and walnuts) form a solid textural and structural base. Developing from the earthy choc-nut base is a savoury herbal spice note, like fenugreek leaves, and freshly baked bread.

Overall : A volley between fruit (guava initially, then mango, dried apples, dates) and buttery shortbread. Then, a burst of fun, zingy sherbert, and a long finish of biscuits, caramel fudge and custard apple. Full circle.
