Posted by System Administrator Tuesday 25th November 2014 3 Comment(s) Sláinte,
We are very Excited for our Celtic Whiskey Christmas Tasting, taking place at the Palace Bar, Fleet Street, Dublin on Thursday 4th December at 7.30pm. We feel we have put together a really special collection that even Father Christmas himself would be proud of! We Ho-Ho-Hope (Sorry!) to see many of you there to enjoy some seasonal delights! 
 
On the Night we will be Tasting the Following Beauties:
 
Celtic Cask Ocht
46%
One of three of our latest releases. This excellent double distilled, 23 year old malt was finished in ex-Anima Negra casks to produce a full, rich and sweet malt. With only 334 of these bottles in existance, the chance to try this whiskey again may not come along too quickly!
 
Teeling 21 Year Old
46%
Winner of Best Single Malt 13 Years and Over at this year's Irish Whiskey Awards, many would consider this to be among the finest Irish Whiskey currently on the market. Finished in a Sauternes sweet wine cask. 
 
Benriach 12 Year Old Sherry Matured
46%
A juicy and spicy sherry cask matured Benriach which has gone into both Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks.This is very enjoyable and strikes a nice balance between fruit, spice and oak flavours.
 
Glengoyne 12 Year Old
43%
This is a entirely unpeated Scottish Malt with full body and lots of complexity
 
Tobermory 20 Year Old Single cask Distillery Reserve
46%
Perhaps our star attractionon the night, this single cask edition is no longer available anywhere in the world apart from at the distillery on the Isle of Mull. 
 
Glendronach Grandeur 24 Year Old
48.9%
A rare and very special bottling of Glendronach. This is from batch five and is drawn from the very best sherry casks available at the distillery. A richly flavoured but silky smooth single malt.
 
Palace Bar 14 Year Old
46%
The second release from the Palace Bar. This single malt is blended from a range of the best Single Malt casks, some as old as 21 years. Limited to just 1,000 bottles. 
 
Mortlach 21 Year Old
43%
Matured completely in Refill Sherry casks, this is an interesting whiskey from Gordon & MacPhail packed with lots of flavour and character.
