• Aroma: Sweet and warming confectionery notes of buttered pastry are present, accompanied by aromas of caramelized almonds and subtle undertones of praline and dried cherry. Scents of floral honey with delicate herbal character also linger, with seasoned oak and pot still spices enhancing the spirit's sweet and full-bodied nature.

• Palate: It is rich and nutty at first, with notes of chocolate-coated hazelnut and salted caramel, followed by fresh plums and dried fig. The flavour profile includes an initial burst of sweetness from the port casks balanced by pot still spices. The texture is luscious and creamy, and the tannins' soft presence works in harmony with this, evoking notes of orange marmalade with delicate hints of toasted oak.

• Body and Finish: The whiskey is full-bodied and complex. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering pot still spices and fruit notes gradually fading, allowing the tawny seasoned oak to impart a lasting impression.

• Varietal Composition: This is a single pot still Irish whiskey. It was initially matured in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. To complete its maturation, all of the whiskeys were blended and married in freshly seasoned tawny port hogsheads for a final maturation period of 14–25 months.

• Stylistic Notes: The spirit is rich, layered, and wonderfully balanced. The soft tannin presence adds complexity and balances the sweetness.
