How It's Done
Our unique blend of three whiskeys – grain whiskey, double distilled and triple distilled malts – aged in four different casks and finished in ex Bordeaux Copeland Rum barrels bottled at cask strength, 57.8% ABV.
Working in collaboration with Brian Watts, Master Distiller at The Great Northern Distillery, Dundalk, we have created a unique blended Irish whiskey, signalling a taste of things to come while we wait patiently for our malt and pot-still whiskeys to mature.
The grain whiskey has been matured for 12 months in a virgin American oak barrel, then transferred to a re-char bourbon cask for the remaining 24 months. The double distilled malt has been matured in an American first-fill bourbon cask and the triple distilled malt matured in an Oloroso sherry butt. The whiskey was then finished for 9 months in ex Bordeaux Copeland Rum barrels, before disgorging and hand bottling.
How It Smells
Toffee, Nutmeg, and biscuity grain.
How It Tastes
Black pepper, cream soda and caramel.
The Finish
Fresh fruits and fresh pinotage.
