Triple distilled and patiently aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this original blended Irish whiskey is known the world over for its smooth and gentle complexity. 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 complemented 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. Aromas of sweet citrus and green apple combined with vanilla undertones. On the palate there are flavours of early fresh fruit which leads to a definite light spike followed by some toasted wood which evolves into a delicious vanilla sweetness.
