Tasting Notes
Nose
At first floral, before dark fruits emerge – cherry, raisin, fig and christmas cake along with a touch of nutmeg.
Taste
Sweet and smooth, with butterscotch, honey and caramel from the Bourbon cask.
Flavor
Raisins, figs, maraschino cherries and a pinch of brown sugar are present from the Oloroso cask.
Finish
Lingering notes of ginger spices with a faint glimmer of almond end a complex Irish whiskey from start to finish.
Awards
About
This globally awarded, single grain whiskey has been aged twice – first in American oak Bourbon barrels and again in Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry barrels. It will make you think twice about Irish whiskey. While the Bourbon barrels brings a sweetness and smooth vanilla notes, the Oloroso casks layer on depth of dried fruit and Spanish oak spices. To find the best Oloroso casks, we go off the beaten track to the small Andalusian town of Montilla, home of the famous PX grape. It works neat, on ice, or in a cocktail.
