16-year bourbon harmony for vibrant nights, this old & rare pour is a unique gift, full of Tasmanian legacy.

Sullivans Cove Special Cask #18 SC0399 is a Tasmanian single malt whisky selected for its distinctive character and non-standard maturation profile. Part of the Special Cask series, this single cask release represents a one-off expression chosen for individuality rather than consistency.


The Special Cask Selection Philosophy

The Special Cask series highlights whiskies that sit outside Sullivans Cove’s core style frameworks. These casks are selected for qualities that do not necessarily align with established categories, yet demonstrate clarity, balance, and expressive character.

Special Cask #18 SC0399 reflects this philosophy. Instead of fitting neatly into a predefined oak style or age statement, it offers a singular snapshot of maturation shaped by cask behaviour and time.


Individual Maturation Character

Each Special Cask develops its identity through a unique combination of barrel history, ageing conditions, and long-term monitoring. In this release, the cask influence plays a central role, guiding flavour development while allowing the distillery’s refined spirit to remain evident.

Rather than aiming for uniformity, this whisky embraces variation. As a result, it offers a profile that rewards attentive tasting and exploration, revealing layers gradually in the glass.


Single Cask Provenance & Limited Release

Special Cask releases are bottled from individual casks and produced in very limited quantities. Once released, these expressions are not replicated, reinforcing their appeal to collectors and enthusiasts seeking distinctive Tasmanian single malt whiskies.

SC0399 captures a specific moment in Sullivans Cove’s ongoing exploration of cask-driven expression, offering insight into the distillery’s broader approach to experimentation and selection.


A Distinct Expression for Curious Palates

Sullivans Cove Special Cask #18 SC0399 suits those who enjoy whiskies defined by character and individuality rather than category. Whether explored slowly or added to a curated collection, it stands as a focused example of Tasmanian single malt whisky selected for its uniqueness.
