One barrel, 121 bottles—Tasmania at its rarest.
Sullivans Cove Old & Rare HH0499 is a singular expression from one of Australia’s most revered whisky distilleries. Distilled in 2000 and bottled in 2018 after 17 years of slow maturation in a single American oak ex-bourbon cask, this release is strictly limited to just 121 bottles—each one individually numbered, never to be repeated.

Tasmania’s cool coastal climate and Sullivans Cove’s meticulous cask management are on full display here. Cask HH0499 imparts rich layers of vanilla, crème caramel and baked stone fruit, with the oak delivering soft tannins and deep, well-integrated spice. Bottled at 47.6% ABV and non-chill filtered, this is a whisky of structure, texture and nuance—offering a meditative, full-bodied experience.

As part of the Old & Rare series, HH0499 isn’t just a whisky—it’s a time capsule. A must-have for serious collectors and a benchmark for Australian single malt.

With a focus on creating the finest expressions of Tasmanian whisky, Sullivans Cove has garnered global recognition, including being named World’s Best Whisky three times in 2014, 2018, and 2019. The distillery's success lies in its dedication to small-batch production, using only 100% Tasmanian ingredients and traditional distilling methods.

Operating in one of the most pristine environments for whisky production, Sullivans Cove distillery uses the region’s pure, clean water and fertile barley-growing land to craft its exceptional whiskies.

The distillery’s commitment to producing world-class whiskies is reflected in its small-batch, single cask approach, where no two batches are the same. This dedication to craftsmanship, paired with the natural elements of Tasmania, allows Sullivans Cove to create whiskies with unparalleled depth and character. Their focus on minimal intervention and maximum expression means each bottle tells a story of its own, embodying the subtleties and complexities of its unique terroir.

Tasting notes

NOSE
Creamy & Complex

Vanilla bean, ripe apricot, and soft caramel lifted by seasoned oak.

PALATE
Deep & Textured

Crème brûlée, stewed peaches and nutmeg over a velvety, rounded base.

FINISH
Long & Warming

Subtle oak spice, brown sugar and a final echo of dried fruit.

Werther’s Originals and pickled walnuts offer an intriguing juxtaposition of sweet and briny, hinting at the spirit's complexity. Piney aromas and fresh herbs add a fresh twist to a wonderfully decadent dram. - Kent Street Cellars
