Description
"As the new iteration of Hellyers Road's pinot noir cask whisky, Double Cask has a big job on its hands. But at under $120 for a 700ml bottle at 46%, they're already off to a flying start in terms of value. There's significantly more oak influence here, with the combination of French and American timbers shining through on the rich, dark, well-developed nose. Think green walnuts, cassia, autumn leaf litter and antique furniture. The palate is also dry and woody but with a great integration of spirit that carries through nicely and at great length. If you like oaky tannin and not a lot of sweetness but appreciate textural whisky, this is a solid drink for a super reasonable price. " - James Halliday
"Aged in 200L American oak ex-bourbon casks for a minimum of five years, the whisky then sees secondary maturation in French Oak barriques that had Tasmanian pinot noir aged in them. This secondary maturation adds beautiful red berry notes and a unique Tasmanian influence to this small batch single malt.
With rich and full boasting vibrant notes of raisin toast, stewed fruits and candied orange with a hint of clove, our signature Double Cask is approachable in style and a whisky you’ll keep coming back for" - Distillery Notes
