Description:
TD0079 is part of the ‘Old and Rare’ collection which is reserved for the very few casks that are allowed to age for at least sixteen years that show incredible length and breadth of palate.

The expression was filled on the 24th of February, 2006 and decanted on the 2nd of May 2022, for a maturation of 16 years and 2 months. The 300-litre American oak cask was previously used to mature an older batch of Sullivans Cove single malt, yielded only 435 bottles at 47.4% abv. Each bottle comes in a unique, hand-made, solid walnut presentation box, and includes an information booklet and a letter of authenticity personally signed by the head distiller.

The Distillery comments on their Old & Rare range;
“A look into the undisturbed potential of Sullivans Cove spirit and high quality, old oak, free from the influence of a pre-fill. As the fresh tropical pops of Sullivans Cove spirit morph into one with the sweet, creamy depth of American oak, you realise you have just witnessed a lesson in integration – brought to you by 16 years of gentle maturation in the right oak, guided by the right hands”.

Interesting fact.
The bottling code TD stands for ‘Tasmanian Distillery’ which means the whisky was distilled and filled into barrels between 2004 and 2016 when ‘Tasmanian Distillery’ were the owners of Sullivan Cove under the watchful eye of Patrick Maguire.
