Gelston's 5 Year Old
Another addition to the Gelston's range of wonderful Irish whiskey, this 5 Year Old single malt was aged in first-fill bourbon casks and then treated to a finish in sherry casks for around 160 days (or just over five months, if that's how you like to group your measurements of time). Bottled up at 41.2% ABV, creamier notes from the whiskey are bolstered by a good hit of spice from the cask finish. A fab cocktail contender, this.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A good dose of festive spices, with melted white chocolate drizzled over forest fruits.
Palate
Toasted fruitcake and zesty notes of orange peel, with clear sherry influence in the form of dark chocolate and berries.
Finish
Creaminess returns on a lengthy finish, with more dried fruit and cinnamon.
