A study in French oak and wine-country provenance
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-Chardonnay
Cask Nº SC0814
Matured for seven years and seven months in a single French oak ex-Chardonnay cask, SC0814 explores a maturation style that demands careful monitoring, patience, and restraint.
French oak brings structure and depth, while the cask's white wine provenance offers another perspective on the relationship between Australian wine country and Sullivans Cove spirit.
Part of the inaugural Seasonal Capture, and arriving later this month.
Waitlist open now.
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 ex-Pinot Noir barrique, SC0387 is another compelling example of the provenance found in Australian wine casks, and the distinctive influence they can bring into our spirit.
With just 96 bottles remaining, this is the final allocation of Cask Nº SC0387.
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 5 October. Ballot drawn on 19 October.
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.
