Detailed Description
Lustrous, warm, mid-gold color. Aromas of vanilla, white chocolate and caramel (creme brulée) on the palate. Spicy entry and then a broad, silky, creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate opens to reveal tropical fruits, cinnamon, ginger and a distinct maltiness. Long in the finish with hints of toasted oak. The Wicklow landscape is strong and memorable.
Barr an Uisce’s Wicklow Rare Small Batch Blended Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Subtle. Nothing overwhelming: Some citrus—clementine peel, lemon. But also lemon-scented cleaner that doesn’t knock you down.
Palate: Very smooth entry and then expansive with a mouth coating, oily texture. Mid palate shows a nuttiness and warmth with hints of raisin and plum.
Finish: The finish is long and clean with subtle notes of marmalade and caramel.
