The original blended Irish whiskey, known the world over for its smooth and gentle complexity. For one, it is triple distilled and patiently aged in a combination of ex bourbon and sherry casks, developing its distinctive smoothness. Secondly, being a blend of all three types of Irish whiskey, it has a gentle complexity. The malt and the pot still whiskey we use give it citrus and spicy notes. The early floral yet biscuit flavour reflects the grain whiskey, while the soft spicy notes can be attributed to the pot still whiskey in the blend. The citrus flavour is contributed by the malt. Finally notice the nutty or even marzipan note combined with distinctive vanilla in the finish imparted by the sherry and bourbon casks used in maturation. Nose Light sweet citrus and green apple combined with vanilla undertones. Taste Early fresh fruit leads to a definite light spice followed by some toasted wood which evolves into a delicious vanilla sweetness. Finish Medium length, buttery mellowness with a touch of marzipan accompanying the lingering vanilla.
