Distiller Notes
The Busker Pot Still is a distinctive expression of Ireland with an exceptional character. Made from barley the traditional way in copper stills, then matured and finished in ex bourbon and sherry casks, it opens with a rich and complex bouquet, consisting of fresh flowers, honey, oak, fudge, and clove oil. Taste buds kick off with some beautiful intense spices and peppery notes, balanced splendidly with some toffee as we reach a long, warm, rich spicy finish.

Smooth and balanced, with sweet oak and soft toast. Mellow and stylish but retaining a hint of fire and spice; long, rich, and charming. A double gold medal winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Look for a vibrant topaz hue and mellow almond aromas. The silky palate is driven by vanilla, oak and a distinctly nutty tone. Cayenne, clove and black pepper accelerate into the finish
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.
