Sullivans Cove French Oak is now the stuff of legend—one of the most sought-after whiskies in the world, and the style that put the Australian whisky industry on the map after winning World’s Best at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014 and again in 2019.
Each sip reveals new facets, with layers seamlessly transitioning from one to the next and lingering long after. It’s a wild journey, expertly contained by the structure of the oak, demonstrating a true mastery of balance. Upon opening, a sense of depth immediately fills the nostrils with dark fruits and sticky maple syrup, intertwined with dark, heavy honey and dried roses. As you sip, flavours of dates, nutmeg, and tiramisu emerge, followed by zippy citrus and chocolate-powdered wafers that add balance and complexity. So good.
Aged for 10 years and 10 months in a 225L French oak ex-Tawny cask, single cask TD0402 embodies the classic Sullivans Cove French Oak ex-Tawny style. Bottled unflocked and unfiltered at 47% ABV, this cask yielded just 325 bottles.
Being matured in French Oak ex-Tawny barrels, this whisky brings together Sullivans Cove Distillery and the powerhouse Australian fortified wine industry, delivering rich flavours of Christmas spice, chocolate, and dark dried fruits. As a single cask bottling, every tiny batch is different, showcasing the unique characteristics of each barrel.

Founded in 1994 in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove Distillery has established itself as a pioneer in the world of single malt whisky. With a focus on creating the finest expressions of Tasmanian whisky, Sullivans Cove has garnered global recognition, including being named World’s Best Whisky three times in 2014, 2018, and 2019. The distillery's success lies in its dedication to small-batch production, using only 100% Tasmanian ingredients and traditional distilling methods.
Operating in one of the most pristine environments for whisky production, Sullivans Cove distillery uses the region’s pure, clean water and fertile barley-growing land to craft its exceptional whiskies. From the unique Tasmanian-built pot still known as "Myrtle" to the bespoke barrel maturation process, every aspect of Sullivans Cove’s production reflects the distillery’s commitment to excellence.
Sullivans Cove is rooted in the belief that whisky should never be rushed. With each cask nurtured to its natural peak, the distillery's philosophy embraces patience, precision, and quality. By using only the finest Tasmanian malted barley and pure local water, Sullivans Cove produces a whisky that is unique to its environment.
The distillery’s commitment to producing world-class whiskies is reflected in its small-batch, single cask approach, where no two batches are the same. This dedication to craftsmanship, paired with the natural elements of Tasmania, allows Sullivans Cove to create whiskies with unparalleled depth and character. Their focus on minimal intervention and maximum expression means each bottle tells a story of its own, embodying the subtleties and complexities of its unique terroir.
As the nose unfolds there are layers of dark fruits and sticky maple syrup, intertwined with dark, heavy honey and the floral scent of dried roses.
The body is full and well-developed, showcasing salted caramel and plum jam alongside the tartness of blackberry and the buttery richness of sweet pastries and apricot crumble.
It lingers with the sweetness of quince paste and toasted fig, merging into dark chocolate and espresso.
