The Special Cask label is reserved for our rarest whiskies. One of a kind releases that don’t fall into our usual French or American Oak styles, these whiskies must also have exceptional scores from our tasting panel and represent the heights of what Sullivans Cove can achieve. Each Special Cask release will be different, and only one or two casks will be released each year. These might be wine barrels, virgin oak, refills, or something else entirely, but if it’s got a green label, you can be sure you’re getting something unique and incredibly special.
Special Cask Edition #10 American Oak ex-Muscat (TD0304), was aged for 12 years in a single 300-litre, American Oak ex-Muscat cask. This cask yielded a mere 471 bottles at 45.5% abv.

Nose : This is one deliciously round nose. Melons and ripe canteloupe with an umami edge. Sweet, confection fruit, quince paste and baklava (nutty, sweet pastry with a perfumed note). Nougat, loads of praline and caramel malt milkshake. A red bitter amaro, orange rind, sweet red bell pepper.

Palate : A gentle herbal, viney thing, and then BOOM: opens up into a watershed of apricot jam and canned peaches. Develops into earthier tones (shortbread, hint of coffee, green walnuts). Blackberry jam, vanilla, and a whole lot of fig leaves.

Overall : Beautiful shortbread and apricot jam, with lychee and coconut cream. A mix between coffee and chocolate ice-cream, with a vanilla bean… And maybe a vanilla malt milkshake with bits of banana and honey. Fig leaf and cocoa. An absolute dead ringer for the Abruzzese Casauria Amaro.
