Product Information: Sullivans Cove French Oak has become a legend. This is one of the most sought-after whiskies in the world, and the style that put the Australian whisky industry on the map after winning World’s Best at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014, and again in 2019.

As a single cask bottling, every tiny batch is different, expressing the unique characteristics of each barrel.

Bottled unflocked and unfiltered at 47.1% abv this cask produced a mere 359 bottles. An array of rich fruit and flavour, heightened by sea spray characters that come so effortless to Sullivans Cove. TD0409 masterfully blends savoury undertones and firm oak structure. From the musky and forest floor notes to the juicy fruit-laden palate and lingering finish of mandarin and Madeira, TD0409 is tremendous. Maker: In 1994, on remote island at the far end of the world, a distillery was brought to life from humble beginnings. Away from the whisky establishment, Sullivans Cove were free to explore and perfect their process. Informed by the past and inspired by possible. Bringing a distinctly Tasmanian twist to a whisky craft, shaped by centuries of practice. 20 years later, their commitment to carefully crafting exceptional whisky, inspired by nature and patiently aged, was rewarded when Sullivans Cove was named the World’s Best Whisky. Overnight the secret was out. Special things were quietly happening on this small 'Apple Isle', and whisky lovers globally were intrigued.

Philosophy: Distilled in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove single malt is made using traditional methods and 100% Tasmanian ingredients. Inspired by nature and patiently aged, the distillers aim to seek the sublime. Each cask is nurtured to it's natural peak, thousands of tiny decisions go into helping each cask reach its full potential. No two batches will be the same and every batch an opportunity for exploration. Tasmania has some of the cleanest water in world, making it an ideal place for producing world class whisky. Tasmania also has some of the best barley growing land in Australia. The combination of good water and good grain is the foundation of all high-end whisky. 100% Tasmanian malted barley is used to make all Sullivans Cove whiskies. The wash is brewed locally by brewers with decades of experience before being double distilled in a unique, Tasmanian built pot still (lovingly called Myrtle). The first distillation, known as the "wash run" produces "low wines" of about 20% abv. The low wines are then put back through the still for the "spirit run" to produce a spirt of around 70% abv. This spirit is then diluted to 63.5% abv before it enters into the casks for ageing. The majority of whiskies are aged in either 200L American oak ex-bourbon barrels, or 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels. Allowed to mature over many years in the unique Tasmanian climate - generally between nine and eighteen years. Nose - Dates, Cacao Nibs, Orange Peel Vibrant and with aromatic oak presenting as antique furniture, incense, and Autumn leaves. As it opens in the glass, the spirit and ex-Tawny pre-fill come forward through the oak with a beautifully integrated array of fruity and briny notes: bonito flakes, blackberry syrup, orange pulp and more berries. Dates, cacao nibs, candied orange peel and fresh orange provide depth and carry a smooth transition to the palate. Palate - Peaches in Syrup, Vanilla, Bran Cereal Palate Very quickly characterised by a wave of tight tannin; Tawny and oak-forward for just a moment, and then an explosive, bright and juicy fruit profile presents peaches in syrup, orange cordial and raspberry jam. A divine vanilla syrup note mingles with a savoury base element (bran cereal, and bonito flakes again), as clove and aniseed point back to the spirit character. Rose, sticky date pudding and fruit mince pies linger on the back palate. Finish - Mandarin, Musk, Nutmeg A beautifully long and layered finish presents mandarin, musk and nutmeg. Red dates and Madeira come next - incredibly rich and earthy, classic Tawny influence - and lots of liquorice mingles with notes of raisins and orange cake. Vanilla musk echoes throughout.

Clase Azul is a Mexican tequila brand that has been sharing the magic of Mexican culture with the world for the past 25 years. The brand was born from a dream to showcase the beauty of Mexican traditions and land. Its iconic decanter, a unique creation made by Mexican artisans, was the starting point of this dream. The name Clase Azul, meaning blue class, was inspired by the blue agave used to make their spirits and the paint on their first Reposado decanter. Despite facing challenges such as natural disasters and financial crises, Clase Azul has stayed true to its ideals and overcome adversity. In 2007, the brand founded Tradición Mazahua, a ceramic workshop where Clase Azul artisans dedicate themselves to creating the brand's decanters as a tribute to Mexican culture. Today, Clase Azul is proud to share the magic of Mexico with more than 55 countries. The brand has transformed into Clase Azul México, but it still preserves the spirit that drives it to showcase the beauty of Mexican culture to the world. Clase Azul México aims to transcend and represent Mexican culture around the world with its exquisite creations and spaces that reveal the heart of Mexico. The agaves used for Clase Azul tequilas grow in Los Altos de Jalisco, a region of red-coloured earth that creates unique properties in the plant. To create their exquisite tequilas, Clase Azul follows a long transformation process that involves slow-cooking the agave piñas in masonry ovens, milling them to extract the sugars, fermenting them with patented yeast, and double-distilling them in copper stills. Clase Azul Tequila Plata is the unaged tequila that captures the notes of the agave, but the journey isn't over yet. The tequila is matured in casks made from oak or other types of wood, allowing it to develop a more complex profile. Clase Azul also honours the tradition of mezcal, which can be made from a wide range of agave species and reflects the soil and conditions that have nourished the agave. The artisanship found in Clase Azul's decanters is a reflection of Mexico's cultural diversity. Each decanter is a creative process that demands artistic drive, technical ability and knowledge passed down for generations. The tequila decanters tell stories through their decoration, while the mezcal decanters display caps decorated with precious artisanal techniques. This Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi has a decanter that is inspired by legendary tales from San Luis Potosí, an oneiric treasure, the spirit and decanter of the newest icon from Clase Azul captures the essence of this state’s desert slopes and valleys. This mezcal is made with green agave, also know as Maguey Verde or Agave Salmiana, a plant native to the deserts in the state of San Luis Potosí. Agave Salmiana is mostly found in Central Mexico. It is originally from the highlands in Coahuila, Durango and San Luis Potosi, but it is now cultivated in warm climates across the globe. This agave is often used in modern landscaping, but it can also be used to produce some very unique mezcal. It's also known as “The Green Giant” for it's large size, and it can take up to 25 years to reach maturity. It is also known as Maguey verde in San Luis Potosi and potentially other regions of Mexico. The decanter itself is a work of art, hand-carved by artisans from a small community of the Mazahua people, the design on this special piece evokes a sense of timelessness and cultural heritage. Adding a vibrant touch to the decanter is the unique and colourful cap, crafted by artisans from the Wixárika culture. Handmade using a technique of coloured yarn appliqué, the decanter’s cap represents a beautiful desert landscape of mountains and valleys overflown by bright red finches. Each piece requires over three hours of meticulous craftsmanship from our artisans. Crystal clear with silver highlights, this mezcal has aromas of cooked agave, caramel, green chile, sweet fruit and freshly cut grass with more subtle aromas of wildflowers. The palate is full bodied with herbal front with hints of caramel, lime zest and clove, with a mineral and spiced aftertaste. Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi pairs beautifully with a variety of soft cheeses, lychees, plums and milk or white chocolate.
