“A whisky that reveals its depth in layers, showcasing the harmonious interplay of spirit, casks, and prefill influences. While the descriptors capture its multi-faceted profile, there’s an ineffable quality that escapes definition – a kind of magic that’s felt rather than described, particularly on the nose. Alluring from start to finish, this is an excellent expression that moves the soul in the most beautiful way.”

Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager

TASTING NOTES

  • Nose

    A captivating bouquet that dances between sweet and savoury. Notes of ginger beer and toasted rye bread mingle with honey, vanilla, and the warm nuttiness of roasting chestnuts. Layers of nougat, hazelnut praline, and caramel toffee create an indulgent sweetness, balanced by earthy hints of leather, fresh mushrooms, and leafy undertones. Perfumed whispers of rose and orange blossom lift the profile, while currants, apple juice, fruitcake, and strawberry jam provide a rich and inviting complexity.

  • Palate

    Silky and full-bodied, with a texture that glides effortlessly across the palate. Crisp Granny Smith apples evolve into tropical guava, lemon, pear, and quince, complemented by the sweetness of candied kumquats and lemon marmalade. Vanilla and a touch of warming spice – white pepper and nutmeg – provide depth, while a buttery shortbread note adds an elegant finish.

  • Finish

    A beautifully balanced and intriguing finish, where the fresh vibrancy of apples and kumquat marmalade melds with a saline character that highlights Sullivans Cove’s spirit. Notes of leather, roasted chestnuts, walnuts, and caramel toffee linger, with a subtle hint of red bell pepper kissed by a smoky barbecue, leaving a savoury and satisfying conclusion.
