Tasting Notes

Nose

Zesty citrus — cut hay, guava, beeswax, manuka honey, tropical fruits, the extra three years adding exotic complexity the 12 doesn't achieve

Palate

Creamy and smooth — cooked fruits, fried banana, orange groves, nutmeg, butterscotch, caramel lattes, apple and banana with almond and coconut, rounded and silky, the 46% providing full body

Finish

Long and sophisticated — the fifteen years of mixed cask maturation providing a finish of extraordinary grace, the pinnacle of pot still whiskey

Expert Review

9/10

The 12 Year Old's richer, earthier, stronger sibling — fifteen years in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks at 46%. Zesty citrus, guava, beeswax, tropical fruits on the nose. Creamy cooked fruits, fried banana, butterscotch, and caramel lattes on the palate. Gold at ISC and World Whiskies Awards. The pinnacle of Irish pot still.
