Tasting Panel
Triple distilled in copper pot stills, this small-batch whiskey is aged in bourbon casks, bringing out pleasant, savory spices. It possesses a keen clarity on nose and palate; scents of honeysuckle and peach are soft-spoken. After warming the mouth with orange-peel tea and brightening the palate with hazelnut, corn husk, and candied pineapple, the whiskey exhibits a clean finish with red apples and sweet, toasty malt.
The result of an historically prohibitive tax placed on malted barley by the English crown, Irish Whiskey is most often produced from a combination of un-malted barley and other grains. Whereas most other Whiskeys are twice distilled, Irish Whiskeys are distilled three times in a column still and must mature in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. These intricate production steps combine to make them lighter, smoother and more approachable than other styles.
