A 16-year-old Tasmanian rarity—the soul of Sullivans Cove laid bare.
Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak TD0048 is a landmark release: the distillery’s first TD cask in its prestigious Old & Rare series and, at over 16 years old, the oldest second-fill ever bottled by the house. Aged entirely in a 300L American oak cask that once held another Sullivans Cove single malt, this whisky delivers astonishing texture, complexity, and length. Just 406 bottles were drawn—each one a chapter of Australian whisky history.
Second-fill casks like this reveal the true heart of Sullivans Cove’s spirit. These barrels have never held bourbon or sherry—only Sullivans whisky—allowing the native esters from the copper still Myrtle to shine through, untouched by aggressive oak. The result is a whisky in balance: soft yet structured, rich yet refined. It speaks in silences as much as flavours, with layers that develop long after the last sip.
Each bottle comes housed in a hand-crafted walnut case with signed authentication—an heirloom-level release for serious collectors and lovers of true craft distilling.
