DOUBLE CASK DC113

To create our Double Cask, Distillery Manager Heather Tillott draws on the vast array of casks that rest within the Sullivans Cove bond store.

A trove of casks that we have been building for almost 30 years.

From 17 year old whisky, to 8 year old whisky. From the fine and firm tannins of French oak, to the confectionary and spice of American oak. Each cask has a role to play, thoughtfully placed in a creamy, decadent and fruit forward marriage from the furthest reaches of our bond-store.

“Ah – that’s beautiful. The presence of very old whisky is immediately apparent” – Miranda Lidgerwood – Sensory Team

Opening delicately with a light grip of fine, old oak right at the front, the back palate lights up with a wave of lime and mandarin – completely in sync.

This is a palate with great structure and lots of dimension. A beautiful balance of fruit, spice, and confectionery (with some jammy things) comes next, as the flavours swell into one another. Iced Vovos, candied almonds, hot cross buns, lime jelly, warm custard and a big dose of mango chutney see you through the finish.
