The Busker Irish Whiskey comes to us via the Royal Oak Distillery in Co. Carlow, Ireland. It's crafted using a blend of three different styles of whiskey – namely single grain, single malt, and Ireland's unique single pot still whiskey. The number three pops up again when it comes to casks, as the whiskeys have been matured and finished in bourbon, Marsala wine, and sherry casks. Three types of cask. The label calls it "Triple Smooth", too. Maybe De La Soul was right about three being the magic number... Anyway, this is tasty expression from the Royal Oak folks, perfect for sipping neat, enjoying with ginger ale, using in a whiskey cocktail, and more.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Caramel, honeycomb, a zesty hint of tropical fruit.
Palate Enjoyably malty, with touches of dark chocolate popping up underneath juicy apricot and mango.
Finish Lingering hints of crumbly fudge and nutty barley.
