Sullivans Cove The Original Classic Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml) - First Release

Buyer's note: minor stains to the plastic seal but no signs of leaking. Comes with original signed timber box.

A landmark Australian whisky up for grabs. These ultra-rare decanters were released between 1997-1999 and were the first commercial bottlings from the Tasmania Distillery (now better known as Sullivan's Cove).

Sub labelled as "Australia's Best to the World", the whisky itself would have been at least two years old, but no more than six. Mostly aged in 300 litre un-charred virgin American oak barrels, at least a portion was distilled at the original site at the old brick works on Sullivans Cove under the original ownership of the brand, well before fourth generation Tasmanian, Patrick Maguire arrived on the scene.

The number of bottles produced isn't known, but given the then immature state of the industry, it couldn't have been more than a few small barrels worth. Overall excellent condition. One only. 40% Alc./Vol.
