Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey, lemon zest, shortcrust pastry, stewed fruits, coconut, ripe melon, apricot, mango, brown sugar — extraordinarily complex

Palate

Creamy vanilla, candied almonds, honey, melon, pear, toasted wood, lemon acidity cutting through sweetness for perfect balance, dark chocolate and toffee undertones

Finish

Long and lingering — ginger spice, lemon curd, sugar cookies, toasted oak, the 21 years of maturation fully integrated, one of the finest finishes in Irish whiskey

Expert Review

9.5/10

Probably the most awarded Irish whiskey in history. Jim Murray's Irish Whiskey of the Year and World's Best Pot Still Whiskey. First released 2013 as the pinnacle of single pot still Irish whiskey — malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled, 21 years in first-fill bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts. Non-chill filtered at 46%. Originally bottled by Gilbey's using Jameson's Bow Street distillate.
