Sullivans Cove Rare Winter Feast 2021

Every year Sullivan’s Cove does an extremely limited run of bottles for the Dark Mofo festival, available exclusively at the Winter Feast festivities. Known locally as “The Witches Brew” it’s a chance for the distillery to use their best blending palates to have fun and go a bit crazy, using the full depth and breadth of the liquid stored in Sullivans Cove warehouse to create a truly unique single malt whisky.
Some of their best and strangest casks, mingled with the magic of midwinter in Tasmania, this 2021 expression saw a run of only 110 bottles at 52.3% ABV, the second highest ABV of all the Winter Feast bottling so far. The rarest of the rare – a wolf in whisky’s clothing.

Pittyvaich 30 Year Old 1989 Special Release 2020 Ghost Distillery
The second bottle in the series will be Pittyvaich 30 Year Old, available exclusively to our 23 Club members, we can’t wait to see your eyes light up when you taste it for the first time.
This elusive 1989 Pittyvaich from the last remaining stocks is the first ever to be finished in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. This finely crafted finishing has brought an exotic, rich vanilla sweetness to the light, creamy, fruity aromas and flavours of a less well known Speyside gem, until now familiar only to a knowledgeable few.
A ‘ghost’ distillery that worked for only 18 years before falling victim to industry consolidation in 1993, the buildings of Pittyvaich have long since vanished. Its dwindling stock is as rarely sighted today as the shy capercaillie, a bird occasionally spotted in Scottish pine forests. Aromas of sweet oak, delicate ripe fruitiness and dried flowers leap from the glass. The texture is soft and silky, the sweet taste rich in notes of vanilla that perfectly match the classic green, creamy and fruity distillery character. It becomes drying in the development, while the smooth, warming finish closes with a final sweet flourish.
A very rare long-aged release of only 7,056 bottles from a closed distillery.

Lark Mizunara Rare Cask Release
The 4th release in Lark’s Rare Cask Series, this single malt is inspired by the elegance of Japanese whisky, crafted using Mizunara oak, one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world. Lark’s Head Distiller has carefully selected second fill bourbon casks from their Bothwell Distillery, ensuring a precise and mature spirit which subtly influences the oak, so that the rare Mizunara Oak shines through, from cask to glass. Mizunara Oak is one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world. It can take up to 200 years for this rare tree to suitably mature to be ready for the perfect whisky cask because both trunk and branches twist and turn.

Region: Bothwell, Tasmania
Bottler: Lark
Bottle No: 1 of 845
