Matured exclusively in a 300-litre American oak cask that previously held Australian tawny port, this limited edition expression from the Cask Variations Series offers a unique twist on Sullivans Cove’s American oak style. Rather than ex-bourbon, this single cask spent its full 12-year maturation in ex-tawny, layering rich fortified wine character with the bright vanilla tones of American oak. Just 479 bottles were produced, and this release sold out within 24 minutes on the Sullivans Cove website.
