Tasmania also has some of the best barley growing land in Australia. The combination of good grain and good water is the foundation of all good 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 (her name is 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. The scales are very well balanced on this one. In fact, if it weren’t for the gentle pauses at the beginning of the palate and the finish, it would be too perfect, and therefore not as alluring. As Miles Davis once said, “It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play.” Well said. And the way the oak develops during the finish, just when you don’t want to let go, keeping the show going; it brings another season to binge on, and we love it. We love it all. - Heather Tillott, Head Distiller Bottling Information Barrel No. - TD0079 Bottle No. - 421 of 435 Filled On - 24/02/2006 Decanted On - 02/05/2022
