What do Sullivans Cove and Japanese whisky have in common? Well, both are shockingly expensive and highly sought-after. The nose of this 'Double Cask' opens up with tinned pears, lychee and wood spices, supplemented by orange peel, sourdough and hints of tobacco. Stewed fruits, honey and a touch of brandy sparkle in the arrival before a crescendo of French oak drives the taste into a ditch. Resinous, dry and chocolaty, the finish recovers with juniper, mint and fruit tea. There is quality in this dram for sure, but I cannot pinpoint a Tasmanian identity.
