American Oak Second-Fill

American Oak Second Fill Single Cask TD0438 was distilled in October of 2013 and decanted in February of 2024 maturing at 10 years and 4 months in a single, 200L American oak cask previously filled with an older batch of Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky.

Our American Oak Second-Fill whiskies excel in capturing the essence of Sullivans Cove's spirit, reflecting the core identity of our distillery. These whiskies undergo maturation in casks previously used for aging an earlier batch of Sullivans Cove single malt. Meticulously selected, only the highest quality casks are chosen to mature a second whisky. The outcome is a whisky with a flavour profile that showcases the richness of American oak, while simultaneously highlighting the distinct character of Sullivans Cove's exceptional spirit.

“Sweet, warm, and inviting, this whisky offers fullness and vibrancy. Its lively fruit character - bursting with orange, apricot, berries, and citrus - harmonises with creamy undertones of Crème Brûlée, white chocolate, and custard tart. A joyous experience from start to finish, it captures a playful yet refined balance of flavour.”

TASTING NOTES

  • Nose

    Bursting with vibrant fruit, this whisky opens with pineapple, red apples, lime, and raspberry jam, rounded by apricot. Earthy notes of forest floor, grain, and fennel honey ground the fruitiness, while salted pistachio, coconut, and thyme bring depth. Toasted marshmallow, floral muscat, and a touch of cola add sweetness, with jasmine and a fresh herbal lift completing the experience.

  • Palate

    Silky and medium-bodied, this whisky offers immediate sweetness with notes of sweet orange, fennel honey, and Crème Brûlée. White chocolate adds creaminess, while apricot, pear, assorted berries, and pomegranate create a vibrant fruit profile, punctuated by bursts of citrus. Wafers and baked cheesecake provide a comforting base, with a subtle hint of musk adding intrigue.

  • Finish

    The finish continues the sweetness of fennel honey, evolving into vanilla wafers and a saline minerality. A very full body persists, with malt sweetness, caramel, and cooking honey evoking grain biscuits. Coconut cream and custard tart bring richness, while buttery pastry adds texture. Ripe blood plum and prune juice deepen the fruitiness, lifted by lavender and mint for a herbal flourish.
