Sullivans Cove French Oak Ex-Tawny Refill Single Cask Single Malt Whisky TD0412 700ml

About This Whisky

A 12-year-old Tasmanian single malt drawn from Cask Nº TD0412. Distilled in August 2013, the whisky matured for 12 years and 4 months in a single 300-litre French oak ex-Tawny cask previously used to mature an older batch of Sullivans Cove Single Malt Whisky. This second-fill maturation allows the rich character of French oak to complement the distillery’s distinctive spirit character. Decanted in December 2025, the cask yielded only 421 bottles at 51% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting and approachable, opening with custard, warm pastries and butter melting into milk chocolate and vanilla. Milk bottle sweetness, malt milkshake and toasted sourdough round out the picture, whilst pink salt and savoury notes add dimension. Red currants and sugar snap pea bring a whisper of brightness. Gentle, creamy and soft throughout.

Palate: Sticky and full-bodied, with delicate tannin that grips just enough to give structure. A confection note runs bright through: spun sugar, toasted marshmallow, mandarin jelly and a citrus burst. Mango chips, lime cheesecake, boiled cherry candy and toffee follow, with freeze-dried fruit and matcha adding complexity.

Finish: Medium-long and wonderfully balanced, moving into earthiness with green tea and matcha undertones. Ripe stone and orchard fruit - juicy pear, sweet apple - give way to brown sugar, banana and salted caramel, with a savoury edge of spice and a playful hit of mango chilli sauce.
