Two French Oak ex-Tawny Single Casks
TD0403 & TD0289

On Monday we release two first-fill French oak ex-Tawny single casks, TD0403 and TD0289. TD0403 is one of our few 225L French oak ex-Tawny casks, dubbed ‘French oak, turned up’ due to its incredibly rich and luxurious flavour profile. Dark and brooding, this whisky is the result of a limited run of ultra generous oak. TD0289 displays more of a classic Sullivans Cove French oak maturation, with added nuance from the extra years it spent in its cask, TD0289 strikes that elusive balance between spirit, pre-fill and oak.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0403

One of our very few, ultra generous, 225L French oak ex-Tawny barrels. Prepare for massive waves of roasted nuts, coffee beans, cake batter and malty chocolate – TD0403 becomes richer, darker and gains more presence with every moment in the glass. Pairs well with cold nights, fire-sides, and your favourite jumper. Matured for 9 years in a first-fill 225L French oak ex-Tawny cask, yielding just 257 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.

French Oak ex-Tawny TD0289

Spiced honey and rye cake, boysenberry swirls, dusty antique furniture, cocoa puffs and oolong tea meet a lemon-oil edge and flickers of mandarin. TD0289 is a great example of the far reaches of flavour that a French oak ex-Tawny maturation can achieve. Zesty and bright while also dark and brooding – choose your own adventure! Bottled at 49.1%, matured for 14 years in a first-fill 300L French oak ex-Tawny cask, yielding 293 bottles of Sullivans Cove single cask whisky.
