The whiskey boasts a high pot still content and has been matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, ex Irish whiskey and ex-sherry casks for 12 years, delivering a sublime taste rich in dried fruits with notes of dark chocolate.
The 12 Year Old Special reserve has collected many accolades over the years, including gold for best Irish blended whiskey at the 2019 Irish Whiskey Awards.
The 18 Year Old Single Malt which won silver for best Irish Single Malt, aged 13 – 20 years, is characterised by its rare, four cask recipe, finished in Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, Port and Madeira casks. This innovative finish gives it a uniquely rich and mellow taste.
