Official Tasting notes:
Nose: Deep and evocative, where dark fruits and savoury intrigue entwine. Prunes and truffle lead into cherries, liquorice, and worn leather, met with the richness of strawberry jam and blackcurrant jelly. A flicker of flint, potpourri, and rose oil lends brightness, while the warmth of fresh lemon leaf, sage, dried hay, coriander and tobacco lingers. White pepper and cinnamon thread through, grounding the florals of violet and dried herbs.
Palate: Umami-laden and richly textured, unfurling with the depth. The juicy, crunchy red berries of Tasmanian Pinot have been cooked down to a delightful mixed red berry jam and lifted by cherry brightness. A full, rolling body carries silky tannins, interwoven with tea leaf, bay, and the savoury intrigue of curry leaf musk. Cola and thick cream provide contrast, met by the delicate fizz of creaming soda. Chinese roast duck, olive brine, and a hint of flint lend complexity.
Finish: Supple tannins stretch the experience, carrying autumn leaves and the bittersweet warmth of cola. Alpine amaro lends its herbal grip, before hoisin, lemon rind, and coriander seed cut through with freshness. A final wave of citrus peel and Christmas pudding deepens into the dark fruit richness of plum sauce.

Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager comments:
“A remarkable interplay of fine oak, Pinot character, and the herbaceous, saline depths of Sullivans Cove’s distillery signature spirit. There’s weight and richness here, but also balance – an effortless presence rather than a forceful push. Layers unfold with quiet confidence, graceful cadence, and seamless flow”.
