iced spiced buns - warm demerara caramel - cinnamon infused poached pears - Pink Lady apples - Tunnock's
dark chocolate caramel wafer biscuits - vanilla fudge - Kirsch soaked Morello cherries - uncooked
fruitcake mix - toasted oak - sweet musk - orange oil
and something rather florally fresh.
Palate: Bourbon
soaked sultanas – Dapple Dandy plums – pink grapefruit peel – lime zest - McVitie's
Jamaica ginger cake – bread pudding – vanilla rich Chantilly cream - orange
flavoured lollipops - grounds of white and black pepper – wood spice and the subtlest
suggestions of freshly chopped mint.
Finish: A vivaciously moreish medium finish, that
continues to tease the taste buds with its feisty fruity and sassily spiced
wares.
Summary: A
superb big bang for buck blended belter, from another new Irish whiskey brand,
which is no doubt going to make the most exciting whisk(e)y category of the
moment, thrive even further.
Marking
Brown-Forman’s (the makers of Jack Daniel’s) first foray into the world of
Irish Whiskey, Slane’s initial third party, triple cask blended release, is
just a taster of what’s to come, ahead of its new distillery going into
production this summer.
