Croithli Coillin Darach Robur
This release from Crolly Distillery marks an exciting departure away from traditional 'spirit' casks. The wood used to age this single malt comes from the highly prized region of Slavonia in Croatia - Lužnjak casks. Robur is most often used for 'European Oak' sherry casks as the wood is more porous than either of the Patraea or Alba species, and also much less sweet. This process has resulted in a whiskey with rich fruit and spice on the palate, and a robust, dry finish with a woodsmoke and dark chocolate. This whiskey comes with a gift box.
