Distiller Notes
This Irish whiskey offers aromas of light, sweet citrus and green apple combined with vanilla undertones. On the palate, early fresh fruit leads to a definite light spike followed by some toasted wood which evolves into a delicious vanilla sweetness. Put the glass down as you sense the almost buttery mellowness.
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.
