Gold color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate toffee and espresso beans, candied dried apricot and mango, orange blossom honey on a buttered muffin, and cinnamon and five spice baked apple served from a cigar box with a round, lively, dry medium body and a seamless, interesting, medium-long finish that exhibits accents of fruit custard tart, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, clove, and anise, grassy meadow, white tea, potpourri, and and vanilla. An amazingly complex and multifaceted Irish Whiskey that tantalizes the senses and evolves with every sip; layers of fruit and spice that is like simultaneously walking through an Irish apple orchard and a Turkish bazaar.

About

Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey

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.
