In 2013, we distilled Tasmanian wine into brandy using our Charentais alembic still, maturing it in American oak. It was a singular endeavour, one we have never repeated. The brandy was eventually bottled, and the casks set aside.
Now, those casks have held our whisky.
In Double Cask Batch No. DC0127, three of these American oak ex-brandy casks have been married with a single French oak ex-Apera cask.
More than a decade later, those casks connect what we made then with what we make now - the character of our brandy carried forward through the oak and into our whisky.
We are whisky crafted in wine country, and these casks hold that history within them.
Tasted alongside our historic brandy, the Sullivans Cove character is unmistakable. The same generous body and bold vibrance run through both - a connection across more than a decade, carried through the oak.
