Gold color. Aromas and flavors of banana bran nut muffin and yogurt, toasted fruit cake, wet potter’s clay and hay, and vanilla with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-full body and a warming, intricate, very long finish that exhibits overtones of cola float, chocolate bar, spice cake, and butterscotch. A bold, spicy Irish Single Malt that sets the bar at a most pleasurable level.

Single malt Irish whiskeys, like their Scottish cousins, are whiskies that are only made with malted barley. They are usually triple distilled through both column and pot stills, although there are a few exclusively pot-distilled brands.
