AROMA Pot still spices are accentuated by the Irish oak contribution, adding waves of toasted wood with hints of vanilla and roasted coffee, layered over fresh fruit which evolves from orchard fruits to tropical notes.
TASTE Classic pot still spices give a luscious texture to the fore, while the influence of the Irish oak adds a medley of sweet notes including chocolate and honeycomb.
FINISH Remarkably long finish with fruit and spices fading to allow the Irish Oak have the final say.

Rich amber-gold with coppery glow.
Nose
Pot-still spice sits atop toasted Irish oak, with vanilla-tinged notes and roasted coffee, layered over bright orchard fruits that unfold into tropical hues.
Palate
Silky pot-still spice coats the palate with a luscious, oak-kissed sweetness; notes of dark chocolate and honeycomb mingle with vanilla, leading to a warming, fruit-driven finish that lingers as the Irish oak softens the spice.
Finish
Remarkably long, the finish carries fruit and spice, fading gradually as the Irish oak asserts its final say.
