From the Pearse Lyons new core range, the Cooper's Select was crafted using a blend of malt and grain Irish whiskies that had were matured in ex-bourbon casks for over 4 years and then vatted together for at least another 4 years in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour like all its companions.
Cooper's Select was named in tribute to the vital job coopers do, and the influence that wood has on a whiskey. Pearse Lyons was especially appreciative of the role of a cooper as his family on his mother’s side, the Dunnes, were a family of Coopers for generations. One of them, Margaret Dunne, was actually the first female cooper in Ireland!
Rich and refined, there's hazelnut buttercream, flamed orange peel and traditionally Sherry notes of raisins, dates and figs initially. A hint of toasted oak and star anise linger underneath.
Milky coffee and dark chocolate lead with plenty of juicy citrus, dark fruits and gingerbread.
Sweet stewed pineapple lingers alongside a touch of vanilla.
