- This is the first time that this cask type has been used in the Irish whiskey industry, if not the world whiskey, making this a truly unique expression.
- Double distilled for depth of flavour on copper pot stills, including one of the smallest whiskey stills on the island of Ireland.
- Non-chill filtered, all natural colour.
- ABV 46%
Tasting Notes:
Nose
Orange blossom, fresh mint and tropical fruits while walking through a summer garden.
Palate
Orange notes lead, as the malt makes an appearance. Milk chocolates combines with orange & mint, as the smokes shines.
Finish
Sweet smoke and chocolate orange combine, giving a long rich and oily finish with hints rancio coming through.
