*UPCOMING RELEASE* Three American Oak Whiskies – Tasmanian Whisky News
Three American Oak Whiskies:
TD0148, TD0191 & TD0310
American Oak single casks TD0148, TD0191 and TD0310 are ready.
In this sumptuous release of three, ballot entrants have the opportunity to experience the diversity of our most awarded wood-type via three different American oak variations:
American oak ex-Tawny
American oak ex-Bourbon
American oak ex-Whisky
The seasonal effect that spring has on our whisky barrels is undeniable. Looking at the number of Sullivans Cove single casks that are approved by our panel year after year, an eagle eye will note there is always an uptick at the beginning of spring. We see the flowers bloom, and so does the whisky as flavour compounds come out of their cold-weather funk.
What a delicious time of year.
TD0148 American Oak ex-Bourbon
An intricately structured confectionary delight, TD0148 was matured for 15 years and 8 months in a 200L American oak barrel that was previously used to produce Bourbon, and yielded just 198 bottles.
TD0191 American Oak ex-Sullivans Cove
Matured for 15 years in 300L American oak cask previously used to age Sullivans Cove single malt whisky, TD0191 embodies all the joys of Spring! Powerfully evocative, it provides the perfect sensory canvas for nostalgic memories of the season.
TD0310 American Oak ex-Tawny
Matured for 13 years and 9 months in a 300L American oak cask previously used to age Tawny Port, TD0310 has qualities reminiscent of old-world Scotch whisky. There aren’t many barrels that have made Distillery Manager, Heather Tillott genuinely emotional upon trying them, but this was one.
These whiskies will be released via ballot, opening for 24 hours from 10am Hobart time on Monday 26 September. Further details, including links to the ballots, will be sent via email prior opening.
