“Dair Ghaelach” means quite simply, Irish Oak.

While the name may be simple, the story of this whiskey is unique. This whiskey has been finished in casks made from virgin Irish oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. Laois.

The oak influences this special whiskey with the unique flavour of the heart of Ireland. Its unique provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Fragrant woodland spices with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg to the fore accompanied by aromatic oils and earthy pot still notes. Delicate hints of nectarine develop to create a zesty fruit note with dustings of white pepper. Additional aromas of dairy fudge and vanilla further accentuate the sweet nature of the whiskey.

Palate: Fortified by the Irish Oak, the pot still spices lead with a heightened intensity thanks to the rich wood tannins before subsiding to reveal velvety tones of caramel with sweet stewed apple and touches of orange peel. Dark chocolate with subtle notes of honeycomb and vanilla weave amongst the spices.

Finish: Delightfully long finish with the fruits and apices slowly fading, allowing the Irish Oak to linger until the very end.
