The Ahascragh Distillery in Galway is still in its foundation days, with big plans for eco-distilling using renewable energy in the future. In the meantime, this young Irish distillery has blended some splendid sourced liquid here, combining a blend of Irish pot still, single malt, and grain whiskeys. Housed in a bottle made from recycled glass, with a recycled paper label, sustainable wood stopper, and biodegradable seal, it's a promising sign of what the future has in store from Ahascragh.

Creamy vanilla fudge and sweet, fruit-studded sponge cake are followed by biscuity barley and sweetly charred oak.
A prickle of spice on the finish, kept in check by waves of creamy grain, honeyed porridge, and prunes.
