A rather tasty limited edition release from Writers Tears, which blends single pot still and single malt Irish whiskeys initially aged in American oak bourbon casks. Following that, the whiskey is allowed a 12 month finish in Marsala hogsheads from the Florio winery in Sicily! Bottled at 45% ABV without chillfiltering, it's bursting with all those lovely sweet caramel notes from the cask finish.
Nose: Lovely syrupy Marsala aromas, with a hint of tropical fruit freshness followed by sweet toffee apple and caramelised nuts.
Palate: Toffee apple reappears on the palate, alongside loads of toasted nuts and sesame snaps, a sprinkle of cinnamon, cloudy honey and a burst of fresh grape.
Finish: Refreshing and short, with a little tropical fruit tang alongside the sweeter notes.
