Producer’s tasting notes.
Nose: Crème Brûlée, toffee, almonds, beeswax and slightly underripe banana, along with raspberry jam, watermelon, quince paste and stewed pear fill out a very broad fruity section. A lot of coconut and vanilla sponge and a gentle malted barley note with the sweet musk of an old book.
Palate: Dried apricots and custard tart bounce around the palate, and then the texture becomes apparent; astoundingly thick and smooth with lots of orange, passionfruit, glacé pineapple and nuts, Mum’s boiled chocolate cake, and above all: COCONUT.
Finish: The lovely texture lingers and fills the mouth with dried apples, raspberry jam, maple syrup and orange. Freshly baked bread, and, you guessed it: COCONUT. The finish is one of the most interesting of all time, with coconut and dried lime, as you would find in a Sri Lankan pickle condiment, perfectly balanced with the texture and sweetness

Bottling Notes
American Oak Refill Single Cask TD0082 was distilled in February of 2006 and decanted in August of last year for a maturation of thirteen years in a single, 300L American oak cask. Unlike their standard American Oak ex-bourbon single cask label, this cask has never held bourbon. Originally commissioned by Sullivans Cove direct from the cooperage in the mid-1990s as a virgin cask, it was first filled with an older batch of Sullivans Cove single malt whisky.
Bottled at 47.2% ABV, this cask is one two being made available simultaneously as part of the first ever American Oak Refill release under their Cask Variations series.
Heather Tillott, Head Distiller comments:
“Take your expectations and throw them out the window. This whisky is fascinating to both the palate and the mind.”
