Tasting Notes

Nose

Tropical fruits, prunes, black cherries, preserved fruits, orange peel, chocolate-covered raisins, mace, cinnamon, cloves — extraordinarily rich and layered

Palate

Vanilla and toasted oak from bourbon, coconut and toffee, then mango, pineapple, orange citrus, candied walnuts — the ruby port adding luscious fleshy fruit, silky mouthfeel

Finish

Extraordinarily long — lingering oak, warm spices, the triple-cask maturation creating a finish that lasts for minutes

Expert Review

9.5/10

The crown jewel of Irish pot still whiskey. 27 years in bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and ruby port casks, bottled at cask strength (54.6%). Whiskybase 90/100. The ruby port cask adds luscious fleshy fruit and silky mouthfeel. Among the finest Irish whiskeys ever produced. A benchmark for aged single pot still craft.
