Maturation in Tawny Port casks distinguishes this from Drumshanbo's standard bourbon/sherry release. Triple distilled and based on a unique mash bill including malted barley, unmalted barley and Irish Barra oats, the full-term fortified ageing contributes intense red fruit and caramelized sugar notes, giving it a creamy texture, alongside flavours of cherries, plums, toffee, baking spices (cinnamon/clove) and citrus, balanced by classic pot still spice for a smooth finish. 43% Alc./Vol.

Slightly more expressive than its Pot Still sibling, the aroma conjures frail scents of balsa wood, hay, poached pears in wine, green apples and light vanilla. It's also a more delicately textured whiskey suggesting flavours of sweet cereals and stewed orchard fruits, building succulence, ending crunchy, lipsmacking and gently spiced. Like a lightly fruited Speysider, but of an altogether softer variety. 46% Alc./vol. Non-chill filtered.
