American Oak Second-Fill
Aged for 11 years and 11 months in a 200L American oak cask previously filled with an older batch of Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky, single cask TD0360 embodies the nuanced American Oak Second-fill style. Bottled unflocked and unfiltered at 47.4% ABV, this cask yielded just 228 bottles.
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.

TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
A full and sticky entry draws you in with a rich nasal texture, opening with a burst of lolly snakes and the bright citrus of limoncello. The sweetness deepens into comforting layers of apple pie, peach Danish, and whipped cream, softened by the richness of raw honey on the comb. Underneath, there’s an earthy brightness - balsa wood, pepper, and nutmeg - balanced with indulgent hints of vanilla bean, dates, prunes, and the warm, buttery scent of freshly baked biscuits. A delicate touch of mango skin provides a subtle tropical lift to this evolving complexity.
-
Palate
Slippery and full-bodied, the creamy texture wraps around the palate, delivering waves of apricot jam, starfruit, and the crisp bite of ripe red apples. There’s a spicy edge of ginger beer, followed by nutty warmth - walnuts, thyme, and a biscuity softness - all laced with silky white chocolate. A lovely lactic note (like fresh cream) brings a full, satisfying richness, while a lively thread of marmalade and mixed spice rounds out the profile.
-
Finish
White chocolate leads the charge into a bright, sunny finish, where jammy sweetness reigns. Sweet apples and soft pops of Moscato blend effortlessly with hints of Amaro, before settling into a malty midsection. A delicate herbal note lingers in the background, while the palate is left coated with a satisfying combination of liquorice, salted caramel, cocoa, and the richness of blackberry tart. The finish holds on brilliantly, leaving behind a final impression of balanced sweetness and warmth.
