Grace O’Malley Maritime Cask brings a gently coastal character to blended Irish whiskey. Caramel, vanilla, orange peel and honey meet a subtle saltiness, creating a balance of familiar sweetness and a distinctive maritime edge.
Combining grain, pot still and malt whiskeys, this expression is finished in virgin French oak casks made with Atlantic-seasoned wood. Sweet, toasted pastry notes round out the flavour, making it an interesting choice for drinkers looking to explore a different style of cask influence.
Tasting notes:
Nose: A complex bouquet of caramel, vanilla, and maritime accents. These are accentuated by hints of zesty orange peel and sweet honey—a veritable invitation to explore further.
Palate: Meticulously balanced interplay of flavours. A distinct saltiness, reminiscent of an ocean breeze, intermingles with gentle sweetness to evoke the essence of the sea.
Finish: Unexpected and delightful. It holds notes reminiscent of Middle Eastern pastry—sweet, saline, and toasted. It leaves you with a lasting impression that echoes distant, storied voyages.
