Cask info
Old & Rare American Oak Second-Fill
20 Year Old American Oak Second-Fill Single Cask TD0015 was filled in January of 2005 and decanted in February of 2025, for a maturation of 20 years and 1 month.
After such a long maturation, this 200L American oak second-fill cask yielded only 171 bottles at 47.8% ABV.
Boasting a depth and refinement that can only come with age, our Old & Rare American Oak single casks are matured for a minimum of sixteen years. Aside from the notes of vanilla, caramel, coconut, fruit, and subtle white floral and herbal nuances, these whiskies are hugely textural with incredible complexity and length of palate.
As single cask bottlings, every tiny batch is different, expressing the unique characteristics of each barrel. Each bottle comes in a handmade, solid oak presentation box, and includes a letter from our Distillery Manager.

“Deliciously warming from start to finish, with seamless flow between sweetness, fruit and oak spice. Balanced, structured and quietly complex. Like a very grown-up, richly rewarding tea.”

TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
Creamy and full from the outset, with sweetened condensed milk, marshmallow, toasted coconut and warm biscuits. Incense, cinnamon quill, peppercorn and coriander seed add aromatic depth, while cherry, plum, banana, fig and agave nectar round out a generous fruit profile.
-
Palate
Fine oak grip and gentle structure carry spiced warmth, with crème caramel, strawberry jam, butterscotch frosting and ginger ale unfolding over a subtle waxiness. Long, elegant and perfectly poised.
-
Finish
Juicy and indulgent, with warm fruit loaf, Boston bun, blood plum and candied orange. A soft lift of sage, pistachio paste, toffee and marzipan leave a lasting richness.

Second-Fill
'Refill' or 'second-fill' means this barrel has been used to mature Sullivans Cove whisky before. Refill casks are a canvas for spirit character to shine. If you asked around here at Sullivans Cove, you'd quickly find out our refill barrels are a staff favourite.

“Our dedication to long-term maturation has remained the same since 1994, enabling us to consistently release Australia’s oldest whiskies, a choice underpinned by one ethos - the whisky comes good when the whisky comes good; we don’t bottle to a schedule, instead, we are guided by the liquid.”
