Vibrant, tropical, and full of character, Black Emerald 7 Year Old Single Grain Rum Cask Finish redefines the potential of Irish grain whiskey through bold cask selection and expert maturation.
Aged for seven years and finished in Florida rum casks, this expression brings a bright Caribbean twist to Ireland’s smooth single grain style. The rum influence infuses the spirit with layers of pineapple, toasted coconut, and sweet nuttiness, perfectly complementing the whiskey’s natural delicacy.
On the nose, inviting aromas of oak, honey, and green apple lead into a rich palate of malted biscuit, milk chocolate, and orange peel, accented by subtle spice and tropical warmth. The finish is long, smooth, and gently oily, leaving elegant traces of banana, coconut, and caramelised sugar.
Bottled at 45% ABV, this release reflects Black Emerald’s mission to showcase the brilliance of mature Irish grain whiskey — refined, flavourful, and unapologetically modern.
Tasting notes:
Palate: On the palate, biscuit notes give way to milk chocolate and citrus (orange). Fun and vibrant with a slight cherry tartness, followed by coconut chocolate.
Finish: The finish is oily, unexpectedly savoury and extremely moreish.
