"An absolute symphony of flavours, seamlessly moving from dark, funky tropical fruits on the nose to a palate rich with fruit, confectionery, and playful oak spice. The intricate balance, with nuances of mature complexity up to 17 years old harmonising with vibrant younger elements, is beautifully struck. Incredible balance. As the whisky breathes and opens up in the glass, each pass reveals a new layer."

Sullivans Cove Sensory Team

  • Nose

    Opening dark and deep with funky tropical fruits! If this whisky were a song, the bass notes are leading the way. The influence of some very old, very delicious wine casks is immediately notable. Sweet fig jam and chilli & pineapple jam move into warm treacle and duck confit. Leather, balsa wood and strawberry coulis comes next, and as the nose opens with air, the fruit profile broadens – spiced apple puree, mandarin, apple syrup, pineapple, berry tisane, and bursts of fresh orange. An incredibly bewitching nose with so much going on. One could sit with just the aroma for hours

  • Palate

    Classic Sullivans Cove notes of brine and bright orange greet the palate – a beautiful and cohesive transition. Alight with tingly tannins and playful oak spice, the structure is broad, initially oak-driven, and quickly opening into a world of fruit and confectionery. Soft and silky texture carries notes of grape jelly and apple & rhubarb crumble into bubble-gum, lavender, sherbet, guava and passionfruit. The savoury elements from the nose (duck confit and leather) join the brine note and rest below all, weaving a delightfully balanced yet far-reaching profile.

  • Finish

    What a personality! Confectionary carries the journey over to the finish with icy poles, custard, and musk. More guava meets raspberry jubes, and there is a flash of crunchy sour fruit (think green apple skins and underripe peach). The finish lingers with softness, nutty undertones and beautiful texture.
