Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of green apple and honey, unmalted barley and dry hay, lime zest, ginger and nerds candies, and citrus and juniper with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-length finish that presents nuances of peach, apricot and berries, cantaloupe, cardamon, and toasted walnut. A gorgeous, luscious fruit-forward Whiskey with an all day long texture and mouth-coating flavors that linger on the palate.

Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey is an in Irish Whiskey made at a single distillery from a mixed mash of malted barley and unmalted barley in a single pot still. It is made with a minimum of 30% malted and 30% unmalted barley, and it is the use of the unmalted barley as well as the production resulting from a single distillery in a single pot that helps give it a distinct spiciness knows as ‘pot still character’; Irish Single Pot Still is also the only style of whiskey exclusively made in Ireland.
