Irish Distillers' first ever virgin Irish oak (Dair Ghaelach in Gaelic) finished whiskey! Single pot still whiskeys that had matured for between 15 and 22 years in ex-bourbon casks were selected for this release and married together before being filled into the Irish oak hogsheads.
Sustainable oak was used for Dair Ghaelach, with trees felled in Grinsell's Wood within Ballaghtobin Estate back in 2010 being transported to north west Spain to be expertly quarter-sawn. After this they head over to Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage in Jerez down in the south. Here the staves dry for fifteen months before being turned into hogsheads and receiving a medium char.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Well aged bourbon matured pot still notes of vanilla, banana and pineapple work well with the Irish oak's contribution of darker woodland spice, cinnamon, coffee and redcurrant.
Spicy oak, fresh straw, plenty of vanilla fudge, pineapple wakamomo, a little cocoa sprinkled on caramelised apple. Rich allspice.
Very long and increasingly wood spice-driven.
Even with so many whiskey options in the world I'll probably get a second bottle of this. Well worth the price to me.
This is incredible stuff! Easily one of the best Irish whiskeys I have ever had. It's powerful, smooth and full of flavor.
