Killowen Peated Dark Rum
A first for rum! This peated dark rum was made using the Solera method of cask ageing, first in heavily charred Cabernet Sauvignon casks, followed by ex-Bourbon firkins, then PX Sherry Casks, and finally a single Peated Irish Whiskey cask for 6 months. The result is a viscous, well-balanced, spicy, heavy, and molasses-led flavor that acknowledges its raw ingredients and cask ageing method.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green

|
Finish | A sweet peaty smoke now with citrusy, tropical notes. The end is like trail mix – the ones with dry banana, coconut, and tarty apricot |
Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Aromas (without water) | Strong notes dulse seaweed and mint leaf overcoming a treacle bread background. All the time accompanied by fresh lime zest. |
Flavour | Sooty smoke note in the background with hard lime travel sweets to the fore, followed by lemon, to treacle, to lemons and back again. A healthy dose of coconut shavings before the finish, the oily fresh kind, not the dry kind. |
