Distiller Notes
The Busker Single Malt is a delightful discovery, an intense journey into the realm of taste. The whiskey is distilled in large copper stills, then matured in two different woods to bring you a complexity that is waiting to be experienced. The Busker Single Malt is a deep golden whiskey. It begins with an arrangement of fruit, which gently leaves space to an explosion of pine essence and malt biscuit. The palate is very intense, with rich, chocolate notes. The whiskey concludes with a sweet and creamy finish.

Distilled in large copper stills, then matured in bourbon and Sherry casks, this 88.6-proof single malt offers scents of marzipan, cocoa, tangerine, and cedar. Intense white pepper maintains an edge at the start while priming the palate for a smoother ride. Golden apple, yellow raisin, cocoa powder, and pine are textural and flavorful, carrying this punch of a whiskey to an energetic citrus zing on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Look for an orange-gold hue and bold baked-apple notes on the nose and palate, accompanied by orange peel and honey-drizzled walnuts. Adding water lightens the texture, with mild cocoa, smoke and cinnamon tingling on the exhale.
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.
