Special features: The blend combines 21% single malt with 79% single grain whiskey and initially matured in first-fill Kentucky bourbon barrels. This was followed by a three-month finish in Oloroso sherry casks, which gives the composition an interesting depth. For the drinking strength, water from the family spring in County Wicklow is used – a tribute to the local origin and the traditional whiskey process.
