a season of upcoming releases

Tasmania is wine country as much as it is whisky country.

For decades, French oak casks have arrived at Sullivans Cove carrying the influence of the wines they once held, before going on to shape some of our most distinctive single malts.

This spring, our first Seasonal Capture brings together four whiskies connected by that lineage.

From our first 20 Year Old French Oak, to ex-Chardonnay and ex-Pinot Noir single casks, and a new Double Cask shaped by casks from our own historic brandy programme, each offers a different perspective on French oak, provenance and maturation in the Australian climate.

Together, they capture a particular moment at Sullivans Cove.

French Oak ex-Pinot Noir

Cask Nº SC0387

A final allocation from a remarkable French Oak e-Pinot Noir cask.

Matured for seven years in a 225L French oak barrique, SC0387 brings together fruit-driven character of Pinot Noir with the structure and depth of French oak.

With only a small allocation remaining, its return offers another expression of the provenance and possibility found in Australian wine casks.

Final Allocation

20 YEAR OLD FRENCH OAK

Cask Nº TD0021

A milestone in the Sullivans Cove story.

Our first 20 Year Old French Oak release explores the extraordinary longevity possible when spirit, oak, and time are allowed to find their own balance.

Two decades of maturation, and the furtherst reach yet of our relationship with French oak.

Ballot opens 19 October

French Oak Ex-White Wine

Cask Nº SC0814

Seven years and seven months in a single French oak ex-Chardonnay cask have produced a whisky of depth, structure, and precision.

French oak and white wine can be demanding partners in the Australian climate, SC0814 reflects the careful monitoring and restraint required to bring them into balance with our spirit.

Ex- brandy edition Double Cask

Batch Nº DC127

A different perspective on provenance.

For this edition of Double Cask, casks from Sullivans Cove's own historic brandy programme become part of the composition, carrying something we made then into the whisky we make now.

A distinctly Sullivans Cove expression of the connection between spirit, cask, and time.
