An Irish Soul Aged in Irish Trees
Crafted in small batches, this pot still whiskey is a masterful expression of native Irish flora and expert cask selection. The dual maturation process in American oak and tightly grained Irish oak casks creates a layered profile with vibrant orchard fruits, warm clove spice, and an earthy oak backbone.
The nose is lively and fresh, revealing crushed apple, green hay, and honeyed oatmeal, complemented by subtle white pepper, clove, and herbal notes of sage and rosemary. Floral hints reminiscent of gorse blossom mingle with delicate touches of green banana and pear skin, inviting a sensory journey through Ireland’s landscapes.
On the palate, the whiskey delivers a creamy, mouth-coating richness typical of pot still style, with flavors of vanilla fudge, malted barley, and simmering spices. The influence of virgin Irish oak emerges through layers of ginger snap, nutmeg, toasted almond, and a faint pine resin. A structured herbal grip balances the sweetness, adding complexity and depth.
The finish is long and evocative, featuring spiced porridge, gentle tannins, and a lingering flicker of white pepper and oak dust that evokes the misty valleys of Wicklow.
