Sullivans Cove Pilot Cask French Oak Ex-Tawny Single Cask SC0427

This limited single malt from Sullivans Cove is part of the distillery’s exclusive ‘Pilot Cask’ program—an experimental series available only at the cellar door. Cask SC0427 stands out for its unusually small 50L French oak ex-tawny cask, filled in 2017 and matured for just 2 years before being bottled at 46.7% ABV. The result is a rare and distinctive Australian whisky that explores accelerated cask interaction and showcases bold flavour development in a shorter time.

Bottle 86 of 112 ever produced.
