This is the oldest Australian whisky to date, Sullivan's Cove are immensely proud to introduce HH0004.
Laid down during their fifth year of operation, this cask offers a rare glimpse into the earliest chapters of our distillery's history. Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager describes it as "Deeply inviting. The epitome of well-aged Sullivan's Cove spirit at its full potential." The style of spirit crafted back in 1999 was designed for long-term maturation, and the rich rewards of those additional years are abundant in this exceptional cask. "HH0004 exudes depth and complexity from the moment it's nosed, with a rich interplay of floral, sweet, and savoury elements." HH0004 has yielded just 335 bottles at 52% ABV.
This Old & Rare American oak second-fill barrel was filled on October 5th, 1999, and patiently matured for 24 years until it reached its peak on January 5th, 2024. Each bottle comes in a handmade, solid oak presentation box, and includes a letter of authenticity signed by their Distillery Manager.

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. From the unique Tasmanian-built pot still known as "Myrtle" to the bespoke barrel maturation process, every aspect of Sullivans Cove’s production reflects the distillery’s commitment to excellence.
Sullivans Cove is rooted in the belief that whisky should never be rushed. With each cask nurtured to its natural peak, the distillery's philosophy embraces patience, precision, and quality. 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.
The nose opens with buttered popcorn, dark, oaky maple syrup, and a deep cherry/strawberry jam note.
As the initial flurry of oak spices settle, the creamy and confectionery-driven side to the palate comes forward with taffy, Jersey caramels, marshmallow, and crème caramel.
A beautiful crescendo into the finish brings about deep leathery vanillin wafts, cantaloupe with icing sugar, dehydrated papaya and rose perfume. Profound length sees caramel sauce meet bright refreshing flickers of more aloe vera (as the palate) and sweet lemon lollies, as the finish.
