TASTING NOTES
Rich and enticing at the nose, with sweet Sherry, characteristic Irish whiskey oiliness, honey and blackcurrants. The palate is a posh blend of sweet and more austere, moderately metallic, notes; berries and restrained cinnamon spice.
Matured in Sherry Casks, a uniquely high proportion of 80% malt whiskey, with 20% of a sweet, batch distilled grain whiskey
Nose: Big, full wealthy fruitcake aroma. Intense sherry sweetness, developing into dried fruit/raisin/Christmas cake notes.
Palate: Soft, silky texture with nutty character.
Finish: A lingering sweetness. Remarkable balance between the ability from Sherry-seasoned casks and the smoothness of the spirit
