Sullivans Cove Single Cask American Oak Single Malt Whisky (700ml) - Old Packaging
Note: Boxes has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. ABV and batch will vary.
The latest releases from this distillery (established in 1994) mark a welcome departure from many previous expressions that were frequently sabotaged by hessian bag, burnt rubber and/or sulphur-like notes. All three bottlings (Double Wood, American Oak Single Cask and French Oak Single Cask) are clean, complex and come highly recommended.
Tasting note (Barrel HH0257 tasted): Bright pale gold colour. The nose is restrained at first. Opens momentarily sappy, followed by a big, soft cocoa-caramel-vanilla note that becomes more like choc-chip cookie with exposure. The palate possesses amazing softness and lightness at this ABV, with feather weight spices, hints of chewy cereals and lots of choc-chip cookie. Subtle juicy dried fruits on the finish. Concludes clean and dry with the cereal and dried fruit notes lingering with solid length. (93 Points) 47.5% Alc./Vol.
