An exceptional 14 year old single malt Irish whiskey released by Lough Gill distillery in Sligo under the Athrú name - part of a series of expressions made with whiskey produced elsewhere to be released as the distillery gets prepared to create its own spirit. This expression has been matured in a wonderful combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, imparting a rich sweetness. It was named Annacoona after a cave on Benbulben in Sligo. A release of 6,600 bottles, all in a rather eye-catching bottle and handsome presentation box.
Autumnal aromas of melted dark chocolate, dried fruits and orange oil.
Salted caramel, candied peels, rich dark forest fruits and spices.
A lingering finish of mocha and jammy cherry notes.

Would not I be stuck in Ireland. Reminds me a lot of older unpeated bunnas from the sherry barrel. The nose is a dream, the palate does not quite keep up, but is also very successful. I like the depth and the dark on one side and the freshness and lightness on the other. The 48% Vol. Are really good for the Irish single malt and in my opinion should not be diluted any further. Definitely fun. Could also be one for the summer, although he has neat sherry.
