Amber color. Aromas and flavors of leather, sherry, marcona almonds, dark chocolate, and dried cherries with a satiny, vibrant, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, intricate, long finish that exhibits elements of ground cinnamon, allspice, ginger cakes, mint, and clove. A complex and brooding Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey that explodes on the palate with a symphony of spices.

A heart of pot still spices, but this has oodles of complexity and depth with concentrated autumnal flavors of apple and blackberry cooked with brown sugar, then morello cherry, hazelnut, allspice, aged tobacco leaf, and worn leather. Mellow dark-toffee sweetness and cooked fruits carry the cinnamon and peppercorn, oak, and leather into a tongue-pounding finish. A slap in the chops—just what you want from a pot still whiskey.
