Description:
This American Oak Tawny Single Cask TD0309 was distilled in August of 2008 and matured in an 300L, American oak first-fill cask previously used to mature Australian tawny fortified wine for 13 years before being decanted in March 2022. Bottled at 47.5% ABV and producing only 439 bottles, the whisky was created under the TD era (Tasmanian Distillery) meaning the expression was distilled between 2004 and 2016 when ‘Tasmanian Distillery’ were the owners of Sullivan Cove under the watchful eye of Patrick Maguire and his team.

The Distillery comments;
“TD0309 is a testament to the ultra-high standards we set ourselves at Sullivans Cove. In March of 2021, TD0309 scored very highly with the Sullivans Cove tasting panel, so we began watching it closely. It was then assessed on 9 different occasions between April 9 2021 and February 8 2022. Each of these 9 times, the panel was blown away by the flavour and texture of this rich American oak ex-Tawny, but it hadn’t quite reached its full potential.

Until now.

16 months since that first high score, and the scales have finally balanced for TD0309. We are generous with our time at Sullivans Cove, and we track our casks extremely closely because we want to catch them when they reach their absolute peak. Until the panel is unanimous, we will not decant”.
