A high proportion of malt whiskey, aged 8 to 10 years and matured in Oloroso sherry casks, sits at the heart of this blend, marked by triple-distilled liquid that delivers a rich, full-bodied experience layering deep sherry sweetness with dried fruit and toasted nuts. Intense sherry sweetness dominates the nose with ripe banana, melon and fruit salad notes, developing into a soft, silky palate with a distinctly nutty character carrying raisin, cinnamon and brown sugar warmth, closing with lingering sweetness and a subtle oily mouthfeel that's made this a genuine step up in complexity from standard Irish blends.
