Nose: Inviting aromas of coconut and treacle greet you, followed by bright lemon peel and almond. Subtle notes of nougat and fig emerge, with vanilla smoothing out the edges. As you continue to explore, tropical hints of mango and candied pineapple become apparent, adding complexity to the bouquet.
Palate: Rich and sweet upon first sip, with warming baking spices like clove and cinnamon taking center stage. This quickly gives way to luscious caramel and candied hazelnuts, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The high proof (50% ABV) provides a pleasant warmth without overwhelming the taste buds.
Finish: The flavors linger gently on the palate, softening into a creamy custard-like sensation. The influence of the Foursquare rum casks becomes more pronounced, leaving behind traces of tropical fruit and subtle oak. The finish is medium in length, with a pleasant balance between the whiskey's grain character and the rum's sweet complexity.
This unique whiskey begins its journey as a single grain Irish spirit, distilled from a mash of 95% French maize and 5% malted barley in County Cork. After initial aging in ex-bourbon barrels, it undergoes a 6-month finishing period in casks that previously held Foursquare's acclaimed "Mark X 2007" Barbados rum, imparting complex tropical notes and a rich depth of flavor to the final product.
