Distiller Notes
Single Malt Irish Whiskey patiently matured in first fill Bourbon casks and finished in Consorcio Licorero Nacional rum casks. Non chill filtered and no added color. Notes of honey, vanilla, caramel and chocolate on the nose. Slight fruit, but more a combination of fresh and dried. Roasted flavors like coffee, toast and chocolate coming through, with a dry 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.
