Customer Rating
“I was traveling for work in Belfast and a friend of mine gave me this whiskey as a gift. Brought it home and shared it with my family. Everyone loved it. So good. Trying to find how I can buy it in the States now. This is our new family whiskey. ”

Description
A wonderfully flavoursome blended Irish whiskey here from the Copeland range, dubbed Merchants' Quay, as a reference to Donaghadee Harbour's very own historic quay. Produced in collaboration with Brian Watts, master distiller over at The Great Northern Distillery, this expression brings together three different types of whiskey. There's double-distilled malt whiskey aged in a first-fill bourbon cask, triple-distilled malt whiskey aged in an Oloroso sherry butt, and grain whiskey finished in a virgin oak barrel.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Ripe nectarine and red apple, with a few handfuls of raspberries too. Warm toffee and a hint of oak later on.
Palate
Still packed with orchard fruit notes, now paired with cinnamon, clementine zest, and brown sugar.
Finish
Subtle simmering spice sticks around.
