Single cask bottlings with unusual cask finishes are at the heart of their program – not mass-produced, but rather small-scale production with a clear origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass: fresh apple and pear notes from the Calvados influence, underpinned by the typical Irish smoothness—creamy vanilla, light honey, a hint of oak. The finish brings subtle spice and a light fruitiness that lingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eServing suggestion:\u003c\/b\u003e Neat at room temperature to fully appreciate the barrel finish.
