The Sullivans Cove 21 Year Old, HH0229

“Our goal is to make the best whisky that we can, but what’s a goal if you don’t stick to it? This whisky symbolises our commitment to just that. Sticking to a whisky, one barrel at a time, for 21 years. That’s just over 7,700 times the sun rose and set on this barrel, 7,700 opportunities a Distillery Manager of the past could have decanted and sold it. It takes a lot of patience.”

– Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager

HH0229 tells a story two decades old, born by the waterfront in our first home, this cask has been with us from the very early days of our distillery. The benefits of long term maturation are abundant in this cask. It has passed through the hands of trusted Distillery Managers over the years, and it is only now, when it has reached its peak of flavour and harmony, that we pass it to you.

HH0229 breaks the mould of what you expect to taste in a 21 year old whisky. Our textural and fruity Sullivans Cove spirit meets an astoundingly soft touch of confection-driven American oak. At an incredible 21 years old, HH0229 was matured in an American oak ex-Bourbon barrel, bottled at 48.3%, and with a yield of just 209 bottles.

“A fine example of this era of Sullivans Cove production in its tropical-sweet earth-textural nature. It’s absolutely delicious, tropical bliss.” – Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager
