Slane Castle is one of Ireland’s most famous locations, known for its rich history and huge gigs featuring some of the biggest musical acts of all time, such as The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Queen, U2, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie. The site just outside Dublin is also home to a distillery, where the family of the castle’s owner Earl of Mountcharles makes Slane Irish Whiskey. This triple distilled blend of single malt and single grain whiskeys which are divided and matured in no less than three casks: virgin oak casks, seasoned casks (which previously contained Tennessee whiskey and bourbon), and oloroso sherry casks. These individual blends are then married together before being bottled, with that mellow, sweet, and approachable profile so often associated with Irish whiskey.
Sweet oak and toasted barley at first, with layers of caramel and ginger developing later on.
Victoria Sponge Cake with plenty of jam and cream in the middle. A touch of butterscotch.
More toasty notes linger on the finish.
Bought as a present, feedback from brother...and I quote " I must say, it's a fiiiine whiskey!"
Lovely deep colour
Victoria’s sponge? Haha, get out of here! This whiskey is great value for one with such a distinctive taste and has a real individuality. Delightful sweet nose, toffee and orange peel notes followed by caramel and medium buttery sweet finish. Delicious at every sip.
Very good value. Absolutely blows most other sub £30 whiskies out the water!
Fabulous! Great blend at very reasonable price! Wonderful nose, and long spicy/peppery finish!
$4.87 - $29.73
