Sullivans Cove Double Cask marries whisky matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks with whisky matured in French oak ex-tawny (Australian fortified wine) casks. Batch DC067 from 2014 is bottled at 40% alc/vol and showcases the house style at its most approachable—silky, fruit-forward and beautifully balanced between bright sweetness and oak-spiced depth.
