The Sullivans Cove 24 Year Old American Oak Apera Finish Single Cask HH0005 is a historic, museum-grade masterpiece that stands as a monumental landmark in Southern Hemisphere distilling history. Hailing from the distillery’s legendary Old & Rare series, this expression represents an extraordinary chapter of time and patience. The spirit was first filled in October 1999 and matured for 17 years in a 300-litre American oak cask. It was then transferred to a 225-litre American oak ex-Apera cask for an additional 7 years, totaling a magnificent 24 years of maturation. Bottled at a precise strength of 51.1% alcohol by volume, this single cask yielded only 324 bottles globally. It stands as an absolute pinnacle investment-grade treasure for world whisky connoisseurs and serious antique spirit collectors.

Founded in 1994 in Hobart, Tasmania, Sullivans Cove Distillery is world-renowned for its single cask bottlings and award-winning craftsmanship. Using Tasmanian barley, pure local water, and a traditional copper Alembic still named Myrtle, the distillery creates whiskies of individuality and character.
The American Oak ex-Bourbon casks are among the most acclaimed in the Sullivans Cove portfolio, often producing whiskies with creamy sweetness, tropical fruit vibrancy, and remarkable balance. This reputation has helped solidify Sullivans Cove as one of the most respected names in global whisky.
Ultra-luxury spirits collectors and serious global whisky investors target Cask HH0004 because it is an unrepeatable, sovereign time capsule from the dawn of the modern Australian craft industry. Surviving 24 years of intense Tasmanian climate evaporation while retaining a robust, oil-rich proof of 52% is an incredible structural feat, creating a texture and structural complexity that younger, higher-volume commercial releases cannot match. The strategic choice of a second-fill American oak cask ensures that the wood sugars do not overpower the liquid, allowing the beautifully evolved tropical fruit, floral, and savory honeyed-malt character to shine. Sourced from a restricted, legendary anniversary outturn that sold out instantly at the source, this liquid gold carries immense potential for secondary market asset appreciation while operating as the definitive crowning centerpiece for any world-class showroom back bar.
