Description

A powerhouse Irish whiskey distillery located in the town after which it is named in Co. Cork. It was built in 1975 by Irish Distillers in order to centralise production of its brand portfolio and today is home to names like Jameson, Redbreast and Method & Madness. This is the third release in the Dair Ghaelach range, a series of Single Pot Still Irish whiskeys matured initially in American Oak Bourbon barrels and finished for two years in virgin native Irish Oak Hogshead casks grown on the Knockrath Estate in County Wicklow.

Nose
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.
Palate
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.
