Cask info
American Oak Second-Fill
16 Year Old American Oak Second-Fill Single Cask TD0090 was filled in March of 2006 and decanted in October of 2022, for a maturation of 16 years and 6 months.
After such a long maturation, this 300L American oak second-fill cask yielded only 426 bottles at 48% 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.

“Single cask Nº TD0090 reveals remarkable depth and elegance. The influence of second-fill American oak and 16 years of maturation has crafted a rich, complex profile - a true union of cask and distillery character. There’s a beautiful harmony between sweetness and delicate spice, balancing indulgent flavours with the refined elegance of long ageing.”

TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
A rich tapestry of roasted coconut and cola open, while the playful sweetness of white jelly beans meets a musky creaming soda note. Vanilla weaves through raspberries, marshmallow, and cookie dough, resting above brown sugar and chocolate mousse. Hints of cinnamon and wood oil offer a subtle lift - broad and enticing.
-
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, the palate bursts with coconut, mango, and the sweetness of leatherwood honey. White pepper and balsa wood add a delicate spice, while buttery shortbread and cinnamon enhance the warmth. Raisins, orange, and dates combine with butterscotch sauce for a decadent, sweet balance.
-
Finish
The finish is long and gentle, with an earthy-sweet note of cola and cherries in syrup leading the way. A strong nutty character of walnuts and pine nuts rolls through - joined by bay leaf for a savoury, herbal touch - as final notes of quince add a bright, fruity lift that lingers.

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.”
