Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a honey-gold glow, a sun-warmed, mahogany-tinged hue that signals cask-driven richness.

Nose

An indulgent, dessert-sweet nose led by shortbread and apricot jam, unfolding to mocha and vanilla bean. Figs lend depth while creamy coconut adds a tropical cushion. French oak sweetness and subtle spice lift the aroma, finishing with a delicate almond-caramel glow and a pristine, airy balance.

Palate

Silky and indulgent on the palate, this opens with soft shortbread and apricot jam, unfolding into mocha and vanilla bean. Figs lend syrupy depth while creamy coconut glides in the finish, all braided with a refined French oak lift that keeps sweetness balanced and utterly luxurious.

Finish

An expansive, luxurious finish that lingers with toasted vanilla bean and shortbread, apricot jam and mocha, while fig and creamy coconut drift softly in. A warm, velvety glow remains long after the sip, subtly sweet and elegantly balanced by the French oak influence.

Sullivans Cove
Sullivans Cove was founded in 1994 on Hobart’s waterfront and is one of the early names in modern Australian single malt. In 2004, the distillery moved to Cambridge and entered a new phase under Patrick Maguire, a period that helped establish the house style and build its reputation well beyond Tasmania. In 2014, Sullivans Cove became the first distillery outside Scotland and Japan to win World’s Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards.
