“I bought a bottle at Dublin airport for my 60th birthday to share with friends and neighbours. We all enjoyed it's smoothness and subtle flavours, sadly it did not last long that evening and a year later I bought another bottle, but sadly I finished it last year. I still have the 2 empty bottles as I use them as wine decanters excellent for sharing with friends”

Description
The first bottling of Inish Turk Beg, a lovely single malt made at the Cooley distillery. After distillation, the whiskey was taken to the island of Inish Turk Beg off the coast of Ireland. The island itself (whose name translates from Gaelic as "the small island of the wild boar") has a long history of illicit distillation, particularly of Poitin, so it is fitting that Inish Turk Beg whiskey is actually finished in Poitin casks! The whiskey was reduced to bottling strength using rainwater collected on the island, and there are just 2,888 of these distinctive leaning bottles!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Peaches and cream on the nose, with hints of apricot, barley malt, black pepper, toffee apples and butterscotch.
Palate
Creamy and very fruity with notes of caramel and Manuka honey. Hints of pepper, nectarines in syrup, orange and buttery toffee.
Finish
Spicy and oaky. Long finish, very fruity.
