Official Tasting notes:
Nose: A soft, creamy bouquet of aromas bounces playfully from the glass – bright and cheery. Layers of vanilla custard, vanilla sugar, and cake batter lead the way, joined by sweet confectionery notes, brownie mix, maraschino cherry, and sticky plum jam. Light, fluffy, and irresistibly inviting, it’s a joyful and welcoming nose.
Palate: A lovely dry grip sets the foundation, with dense herbal notes weaving through – dried herbs, mint and parsley offering a savoury thread. This herbal lift pairs beautifully with sweet bursts of candied orange, lemon meringue, toffee apple, grape juice and marmalade, creating a dynamic and vibrant palate.
Finish: A lively citrus burst from the palate carries into the finish with short, zesty pops. A subtle coffee note emerges, building on the bittersweet theme before softening into a gentle wave of tropical fruits, coconut slice, and comforting notes of rice cake and rice pudding. A refreshing and satisfying close.

Description:
Discover this exceptional French Oak Second Fill whisky from Tasmania’s renowned Sullivans Cove distillery. Crafted in August 2013 and bottled in December 2024, this premium single malt whisky was laid to rest for 11 years in a single 300L French oak cask. The cask previously contained an older Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky batch, imparting complex flavours and distinctive character to this limited-edition release.
The Sullivans Cove sensory team comments:
“This whisky truly pops in every direction – bright, lively and endlessly fun. Despite its playful spirit, a grounding thread of French oak brings balance and poise. An uplifting, multi-dimensional dram that captures both energy and charm.”
About French Oak Second Fill releases.
Sullivans Cove French Oak Second-Fill casks have a history as rich and flavourful. Initially serving as first-fill ex-Tawny casks for an earlier batch of Sullivans Cove single malt, the best casks are then selected for a second round of maturation. This maturation style beautifully displays the rich character of the French oak, while allowing the distinctive spirit character of Sullivans Cove to take centre stage.
