American Oak Tawny Cask TD0074

In the ongoing spirit of innovation at Sullivans Cove, we are thrilled to share with you that several exciting new whisky styles will be released in the coming years. These new styles are the result of years of successful experiments with various ageing techniques, yielding new flavours for whisky lovers to enjoy. The new labels will sit within our core range of French Oak Single Cask, American Oak Single Cask, and Double Cask.

The first whisky to be released is a single American oak cask that was previously used to age tawny (Australian port style) fortified wine. This differs from our traditional American Oak releases which use ex-bourbon casks – so we’ve called it American Oak Tawny.

The first American Oak Tawny release is cask TD0074. It was aged for 11 years and bottled at 47.5% ABV. The flavour profile of this whisky sits somewhere in between our French and American Oak styles, combining the malt and vanilla sweetness of American oak with the rich dried fruit character of fortified wine.

Both our French Oak and American Oak have won “World’s Best” titles in recent years, so American Oak Tawny represents the best of both worlds.

There are only 488 bottles of this whisky and as mailing list members, you have exclusive access to purchase this first release prior to the public.

“When we filled these casks about a decade ago, we had already seen good results from American oak bourbon and French oak tawny casks, so we thought it was time to experiment with different kinds of oak. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We’ve laid more down recently but they won’t be ready for at least ten years, so this is a great opportunity to try some of our early successes.”
