Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
![]() |
|
Taste | 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. |
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. |
Finish | Remarkably long finish with fruit and spices fading to allow the Irish Oak have the final say |
