Nose: Fresh apple and pear dominate, backed by rich vanilla and honey. Light floral notes emerge, reminiscent of honeysuckle. A hint of oak and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add depth.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Ripe orchard fruits lead, followed by caramel and toffee sweetness. Toasted oak brings a subtle dryness, balanced by hints of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Warm baking spices provide a gentle kick.

Finish: Medium to long. The sweetness fades to reveal lingering oak and warming spices. A touch of dried fruit and leather emerges. Slight peppery heat builds, leaving a pleasant warmth that invites another sip.

High N' Wicked's The Wild Rover Irish Whiskey - Singular Limited Release No. 2 is crafted using a unique triple-distillation process in copper pot stills, followed by maturation in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. What sets this whiskey apart is its finishing period in rare Japanese Mizunara oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of incense, sandalwood, and coconut to the spirit's profile.

      A delectable treat for whiskey lovers

      This whiskey is extremely smooth and has hints of apple on the front of the palette and the nose throughout. Finishes with nice oak. A little astringent neat, I would suggest drinking with ice.
