A formidable single-cask Tasmanian release, Devil in The Detail was distilled at Tasmania Distillery (producers of Sullivans Cove) in April 2000 and bottled in May 2015. Drawn from ex-bourbon barrel HH0244, it spent 15 years maturing before being released at a staggering natural cask strength of 73.5% ABV. Just 152 bottles were produced, making this an exceptionally scarce piece of Australian whisky history.

Why Add Heartwood Devil in The Detail to Your Collection?

Between its long single-cask maturation, ultra-rare outturn, and eye-popping natural ABV, this bottle epitomises what collectors love about Heartwood: unapologetically powerful whisky with provenance. For fans of Australian single malt (and Sullivans Cove spirit in particular), it’s a landmark, low-availability release that won’t be repeated.
