The cult classic that redefined Australian whisky.

Sullivans Cove French Oak Ex-Tawny Cask TD0289 is a continuation of the bottling that changed everything. Distilled in Tasmania using 100% local ingredients and matured in a single 300L French oak cask seasoned with Australian tawny (port-style wine), this single malt carries the DNA of the world-beating whisky that earned “World’s Best Single Malt” in 2014.

French oak and fortified wine create a potent profile: rich, bold and unmistakably Sullivans. Layers of dark fruit, cocoa and spice are drawn deep into the spirit over many years of slow ageing in Hobart’s cool maritime climate. No two barrels are the same, but each one offers an intense and rewarding experience—this is a whisky made for those who appreciate character over consistency.

With a limited number of bottles drawn from each cask, TD0289 is both a snapshot of Sullivans Cove’s evolving artistry and a benchmark for what Australian whisky can be.

Founded in 1994 in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove Distillery has established itself as a pioneer in the world of single malt whisky. 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.

By using only the finest Tasmanian malted barley and pure local water, Sullivans Cove produces a whisky that is unique to its environment.

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.
