Sullivans Cove Distillery marked its 25^th anniversary with the release of a very special limited-edition whisky.

At an incredible 21 years of age, this whisky was both the oldest Sullivans Cove had ever released, and the oldest ever official distillery release of Australian single malt whisky – an incredible milestone both for the distillery, and for the Australian whisky industry as a whole.

Between 1994 and 1999, the founders of Sullivans Cove produced a total of 162 casks of whisky. All of these casks were thought to be lost to time; bottled and sold years ago in one form or another. But in 2018, a phone call from out of the blue led then to a warehouse in Hobart, where they discovered four casks of Sullivans Cove’s earliest single malt. They were overjoyed at the discovery of such an incredible part of their own story – four casks of liquid history to share with the world. They were even happier when they tasted the whisky and discovered its incredible richness, texture and depth of character. The casks had been sold to private owners in the very early years of the distillery, so they tracked them down and bought the casks back, returning them to their rightful home.

Sullivans Cove 25^th Anniversary Special Edition is that whisky, aged for over 21 years in 200-litre American Oak ex-bourbon casks. Considering the incredibly advanced age and resulting low volume of these casks, the small amount of remaining whisky in each was married together to create this special release, yielding a total of 502 bottles at 49.6% abv.

This incredibly rare whisky is presented in a crystal decanter by Glencairn, and the label design reflects the packaging of Sullivans Cove’s first release of Tasmanian single malt from the late 1990s.

 Sullivans Cove 25th Anniversary Special Edition was released in October 2019. This is bottle 405 of 502.  Each bottle is accompanied by an individual certificate of authenticity personally signed by then Head Distiller Patrick Maguire and Production Manager Heather Tillott.
