This Aussie whisky comes from the island state of Tasmania. When they are not being harassed by the Tasmanian devils they produce some of the best whisky being made south of the Equator at this moment. The whisky in this bottle was finished in French Oak Port Casks for a fruity flavour.
Melted dark chocolate and red wine gums open up a big fruity nose. Hints of anise, white pepper and coconut.
Jelly babies and a little more white pepper dominate the palate entry with cinnamon and a lick of fresh cut grass developing.
The finish is swift but substantial with fruitcake notes.
A full-bodied whisky that showcases what the Australians are doing well.
Tasted this twice now. Stunning. Any idea when it might be back in?
I have tried all three types and they seriously are fantastic, its hard to choose a winner.
I got a chance to try a sample--found it really smooth and crisp. Flavors of green apples, honey. Would definitely buy a bottle ( if I can find it anywhere)
Sullivan's Cove is a rare whisky to encounter in the Highlands of Scotland where I live but I got the chance to try it recently. It has a complex spectrum of aromatic and unusual faintly sweet hints. A whisky all too easy to drink! Full of panache yet very elegant. The experience was all more enhanced by drinking it from a silver cup owned by Bonnie Prince Charlie! True! A fine cultured whisky pity its so rare.
