Description
This single malt whiskey was aged exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. It is distinctly peated, there are aromas of fresh charcoal and citrus fruits revealing a palate with a rich, creamy texture. The smoke, oak and spice intermingle beautifully exposing rich biscuit malt, poached pears and banana notes with sweet smoke and orchard fruits on the lengthening finish.
This is the first release of cask strength whiskey from our Bill Phil range – showcasing the continued progression of our peated single malt Irish whiskeys.
Relaxed peat with pleasant alcohol initially. There’s lemon, herbs, mint and liquorice with crisp pears coming through gently. Touches of iodine throughout with something reminiscent of dusty mechanic’s cloth, but the fruit underlies with gooseberry and mango notes.
Palate:
Peat jumps forward on the first sip with a burst of smoked almonds and chili chocolate. Fruits from the orchard, apple and pear skins with a touch of white grape zinging the tongue.
Finish:
As it moves to the back palate, there’s kindling, clove and a burst of hazelnut praline with a medium finish.
