Sullivans Cove Single Cask Bourbon Maturation Whisky 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with sunlit honey-gold highlights and a rich auburn glow.

Nose

Opulent vanilla and caramel lift from the glass, mingling with toasted oak and crème brûlée. Hints of coconut and citrus zest weave through dried apricot and pear, while a warm bourbon spice and butterscotch linger on the aroma, riding a sun-warmed, resinous bouquet.

Palate

Luxuriously full-bodied, the palate unfolds with vanilla, toffee and maple backed by roasted oak. Subtle spice and citrus peel brighten notes of dried apricot and almond, all carried on a velvety mouthfeel. A warm cinnamon- and clove-kissed finish lingers, framed by lingering oak and a hint of sweetness.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish layers vanilla and caramel with toasted oak. Cinnamon and clove spice linger, brightened by orange zest, while a whisper of dark chocolate remains in the background. The bourbon’s richness coats the palate, fading slowly into a silky, resinous finish that recalls a well-kept cask and refined sweetness.
