Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Warm cinnamon and baking spices greet the nose, followed by buttery toast aromas. Subtle notes of dried apricots and golden raisins emerge, accompanied by delicate hints of dried rose petals and chamomile tea.

Palate: The medium-bodied, creamy texture coats the tongue with flavors of salted caramel and butterscotch. Shortbread cookie notes add a pleasant sweetness. The overall profile is delicate and nuanced, with the Madeira cask finish imparting subtle fruity undertones.

Finish: A lingering warmth carries the spice and caramel notes through the finish. The sweetness from the Madeira cask aging becomes more pronounced, leaving a pleasant dried fruit character. The high proof provides a gentle heat that doesn't overwhelm the delicate flavors.

This distinctive Irish whiskey is crafted using a 95% French maize and 5% malted barley mash bill, distilled in a Continuous Coffey Column Still, and undergoes a unique double cask maturation process. After initial aging in ex-bourbon barrels, the spirit is finished for 6 months in Tinta Negra Caste Extra Sweet Madeira casks, imparting layers of complexity and nuanced flavors to the final product.

This whiskey pays homage to Aeneas Coffey, an Irish inventor who revolutionized distilling with his continuous still design in 1830. Ironically, while Coffey's invention is now widely used in Scotland, this Irish whiskey named after him brings his legacy full circle.

The finishing casks used for this whiskey once held Tinta Negra Madeira wine, an incredibly rare choice in Irish whiskey production. This unique finish imparts subtle notes of dried fruit and floral hints, creating a flavor profile that's distinctly different from traditional Irish whiskeys.
