Sullivans Cove Old & Rare American Oak 17 Year Old Single Cask
Sullivans Cove Single Malt Tasmanian Whisky is made from barley grown exclusively on the island of Tasmania. "The island's deep red basalt soil, pure water and mild temperatures result in a barley that is perfect for distillation," says Patrick Maguire, the distillery's founder and master distiller (his ancestors were convicts that were imprisoned on the island). In addition, the island has one of the oldest and strictest quarantine programs in the world, ensuring that the barley remains untainted. Once the barley has been harvested, it is malted at the Cascade Brewery by Roger Ibbott, who has over four decades of experience malting barley. The malted barley is then mashed and fermented at Sullivans Cove Distillery using a unique strain of yeast developed specifically for the production of Sullivans Cove Whisky. Then, the wash is distilled twice through a handmade copper-pot still.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with caramel, toasted nuts, fruit, berries, and floral undertones. There are citrus, vanilla, malt, caramel, oak, and dried fruit notes on the palate, along with a touch of peppery spice. The finish is equally complex with long-lingering notes.
