Hyde No. 5 Aras Cask Matured Irish Whiskey

Colour

Deep copper-gold, ruby-tinged with burgundy glow; a warm, sun-kissed amber.

Nose

Warm vanilla and toasted oak lead, punctuated by caramel sweetness and a bourbon-backed depth. Finishing in Pinot Noir Burgundy casks brings red-fruit perfume—ripe cherry, raspberry and a touch of plum—woven with wine-spice. A delicate floral lift, hints of cocoa and a whisper of smoke finish the nose with refined allure.

Palate

Silky and velvety on the palate, with creamy vanilla and caramel from the bourbon backbone. Dark cherry and blackberry unfold, lifted by red-berry notes from the Pinot Noir finish. Subtle cocoa, toasted oak and spice weave through the mid-palate, while integrated tannins carry the fruit into a long, refined, balanced finish.

Finish

Elegant and lingering, the finish draws red fruit from the Pinot Noir cask—cherry, cranberry and blackberry with a warm vanilla undertone. Subtle oak spice and refined tannins extend into a long, wine-kissed fade, leaving a polished, velvet afterglow on the palate.
