Two French Oak ex-Tawny Single Casks
TD0404 & TD0311

Tomorrow we release two first-fill French oak ex-Tawny single casks, TD0404 and TD0311. Both received exceptional scores for taste, texture and balance from the Sullivans Cove tasting panel, both are the same oak and pre-fill, yet they provide two distinctly different drinking experiences. These two casks display the individuality that we love about single cask whisky, and we can’t wait for you to try them.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0404

Black Forest gateau meets fresh bursts of mandarin, interlaced with creme caramel, cinnamon baked green apples and sticky date sauce. The rich cask influence brings a depth to be reckoned with, expertly balanced by Sullivans Cove’s bright fruit and mineral spirit character.  It’s not often we see this side of Sullivans Cove, and it is exciting to taste the wide breadth of flavour that our spirit can offer. TD0404 holds firework displays of flavour within a perfectly structured whisky. This is a barrel we will never forget.

Matured for 8 years and 9 months in a first-fill 200L ex-Tawny, French oak cask. Yielding 318 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0311

Honey-laced macadamia oil and butterscotch candies rest below a world of apothecary aromas. Be prepared for this to stay on your palate long after the last sip. Apricots, peaches and salted butterscotch from the spirit lace into sticky dates, hazelnuts and damson plums from the Tawny, met by ancient spices and dark chocolate notes from the French oak cask. A trifecta of flavour. Matured for 13 years and 8 months in a first-fill 225L ex-Tawny, French oak cask. Yielding just 276 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.
