Edition

The second edition of our Wonders of Wood bottlings consists of our single pot still crafted from a recipe of 50% malted barley and 50% unmalted barley which has been triple distilled in our Dublin distillery and fully matured in virgin Portuguese oak casks.

Portuguese oak is native to the Iberian Peninsula and has a higher tannin content than other oak variants normally used in the Whiskey industry. When used for maturation it produces a distinct savoury marmalade flavour with warming hints of tobacco and pepper unique to Irish Whiskey.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE:

Citrus notes to start with hints of old spice, leather and cloves

TASTE:

Toasted oak, savoury marmalade with pepper and nutmeg

FINISH:

Warming with tobacco, pepper and a vanilla maltiness
