Sullivans Cove American Oak Single Cask
$139.50 Availability: In StockAbout Sullivans Cove American Oak Single Cask
Sullivans Cove Single Malt Tasmanian Whisky is made from barley grown exclusively on the island of Tasmania. “The island’s deep red basalt soil, pure water and mild temperatures result in a barley that is perfect for distillation,” says Patrick Maguire, the distillery’s founder and master distiller (his ancestors were convicts that were imprisoned on the island). In addition, the island has one of the oldest and strictest quarantine programs in the world, ensuring that the barley remains untainted.
Once the barley has been harvested, it is malted at the Cascade Brewery by Roger Ibbott, who has over four decades of experience malting barley. The malted barley is then mashed and fermented at Sullivans Cove Distillery using a unique strain of yeast developed specifically for the production of Sullivans Cove Whisky. Then, the wash is distilled twice through a handmade copper-pot still. “The real trick is to cut the run short, so that only the sweetest, best flavors and purest alcohol from the heart of the run is captured”, says Macguire. “It’s not the most sensible approach by an accountant’s standards, but then it’s a good thing that we are not accountants!”
Their American Oak Single Cask is master distiller Patrick Maguire’s favorite expression and the one in their lineup to have garnered the most accolades over the years. The first Australian whisky to achieve a Liquid Gold Award in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, this spirit spends around 13 years in ex-bourbon casks (it’s done when it’s done!), before being bottled at 95 proof. It’s a great showcase of the style of the distillery with its rich and creamy profile that has plenty of vanilla, caramel, and fruit notes.

About Sullivans Cove
Situated along the banks of the River Derwent on the island of Tasmania, Sullivans Cove was the site of one of Britain’s first penal colonies in Australia. In 1804, at the order of the Governor King of the British settlement of New South Wales, Lt. John Bowen transported some of the most heinous British criminals to Sul livans Cove, which eventually developed into the city of Hobart. Hobart was the perfect penal colony — the area’s dense forests required a huge labor force in order to establish a settlement, and its isolation and inaccessibility ensured there was no escape. Today, the island of Tasmania remains of one the most isolated and natural places on earth — approximately 37% of the island is protected as natural reserves.
