An Evening With Sullivans Cove Whiskymaker Heather Tillott @ Cambridge, TAS

A tasting of seven Sullivans Cove whiskies with Distiller Manager Heather Tillott, including Club exclusive Double Cask Batch Strength.

Sullivans Cove are in rarified air – since winning World’s Best Single Malt in 2014, they’ve won World’s Best Single Cask another three times at the World Whiskies Awards, and accordingly attract some pretty eye-watering prices on the secondary market.

Now they’ve made their first ever batch strength version of the award-winning Double Cask exclusively for The Whisky Club, and it’s also the first time Double Cask’s been made using only fortified and wine casks.

This means the darkest, richest Double Cask ever: proper 55.4% ABV, and an unprecedented riot of rich red fruit, caramel and spice, thanks to the never-before-seen marriage of French oak Tawny, Pinot Noir, American oak Apera and of course the same Chardonnay casks that just picked up “World’s best single cask” at the WWAs.

In an exclusive launch event we’ll be tasting a crazy seven whiskies from Sullies. As well as the Batch Strength, we’ll dig into some other Double Cask expressions and a series of single casks that will serve as a deconstruction of our exclusive release.

It’ll all be hosted by Icon of Whisky Heather Tillott, Distillery Manager at Sullivans Cove.
