Sailors Home The Caravelle Blended Irish Whiskey 10 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
Out of stock
Caravelle - the second of The Islands Series - is named for the sailing ship used for long voyages of exploration in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, and for Presqu’ile de la Caravelle, the wild and lush natural reserve in Martinique. Remarkable Irish Malt and grain Whiskeys are matured for at least 10 years in American Bourbon casks and expertly blended. Martinique has a specific AOC controlling how Rhum Agricole is produced – masterful finishing in selected Martinique rum casks introduces earthy and exotic flavour notes.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, burnished amber with warm copper-gold highlights and a hint of mahogany along the edge.
Nose
Pineapple bursts, mingling with savannah grass and a whisper of demerara sugar. Bright, sun-warmed and softly sweet, it evokes tropical warmth with a caramel-tinted edge.
Palate
Fat, creamy toffee coats the palate, mingling with sugar cane sweetness, bright blood orange, and a whisper of liquorice. Silky, rounded texture with medium body, it glides and lingers with a warm, aromatic sweetness.
Finish
Candied bananas linger on the finish, a gentle, tropical sweetness with a subtle caramel warmth.
