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.
Smooth and moorish.
The reviews are right a great Irish whiskey good taste and a even better price slainte
This has got to be one of my favourite whiskies, this is the second bottle I have ordered and I'm sure it won't be the last. One of the best I've had recently and it's not a single malt.
Excellent whiskey. It's my go to Irish. Smooth all the way, no harshness. Warm and caramelly. It's great neat, but stands up to rocks if that's your preference.
disappointing i think they should amend the casks to; aluminium, plastic,pine .... young , overpriced, overstretching,
