Distiller Notes
Single Malt Irish Whiskey patiently matured in first fill Bourbon casks & finished in Quinta Da Boeira port casks. Non chill filtered and no added color. Dried fruit with spice notes of nutmeg and black pepper. Vanilla and toffee also present. The port cask finish is the sweetest of the offerings, with the aroma of the dried fruit pulling through.
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.
