Sullivans Cove Double Cask DC100 Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky 2019

$750 AUD

47.4% ABV

700 ml

To mark the 100th batch of this award-winning Tasmanian single malt whisky, and as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations in 2019, Sullivans Cove crafted a limited edition of Double Cask. Bottled at 47.4% ABV and presented in a handmade solid oak box, DC100 is made up of some of Sullivans Cove’s very oldest casks, and therefore some of the oldest whiskies ever released in Australia.   
 
"For this batch we've married several 18-year-old American oak ex-bourbon casks with two eleven-year-old French oak ex-tawny casks. The result is a whisky of incredible depth and texture due to the considerable age of the American oak casks, lifted by the bright sweetness of the French oak. This unique whisky is a piece of Sullivans Cove history never to be repeated."
Heather Tillott, Production Manager 

Tasting Notes

Nose: Lots of banana cream pie, baked peaches, dried apple and ripe pineapples, along with vanilla bean, bay leaf, sweet malt, fine leather and an elegant floral note. 

Palate: Rich, sweet fruit fills the palate. Toffee apples, candied citrus peel and ripe plums mingle with the honey-driven mid palate, while dark chocolate and beeswax bring an earthy element to the mix, as well a touch of bright eucalyptus and mint. Beautiful smooth texture. 

Finish: The bright tropical fruits are followed by the earthier notes of malt grain, cocoa, mixed nuts and vanilla. A luscious, mouth-coating texture drives the finish on to Nana's scones fresh from the oven with jam and thick cream.

Distillery

Sullivans Cove

Australia’s most awarded distillery and one of the country’s modern whisky distilling pioneers, Sullivans Cove has achieved great success in recent years, including international recognition when their French Oak Single Cask was crowned World’s Best Single Malt in 2014 by the World Whiskies Awards. This, alongside exemplary ratings from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, propelled Sullivans Cove into the spotlight, but with limited stock and a long maturation period, their whiskies are highly sought after and very hard to find.
