A unique blend of three different whiskeys – grain whiskey, double and triple distilled malt whiskeys – aged in four different casks.
The grain whiskey has been matured for 12 months in a virgin American oak barrel, then transferred to a re-charred bourbon cask for the remaining 24 months. The double distilled malt has been matured in a first-fill bourbon cask and the triple distilled malt matured in an Oloroso sherry butt.
The result is a smooth, rich Irish whiskey with an easy, delectable finish which can be enjoyed neat, with a splash or water or as part of your favourite whiskey cocktail.
