This expression is a wonderfully mature 29-year-old Irish single malt. The whiskey was triple distilled in 1992. It was then left to mature for more than a decade in hand-picked bourbon casks. It was re-casked in 2004 and finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, before being bottled at a cask strength of 106 proof, without chill filtration. Seeing how the spirit spent more than half of its life in sherry casks, it's a rich, sweet, and fruity whiskey with notes of dried fruit, praline, orange zest, vanilla, toffee, and clove. The nose opens with rich aromas of toffee and clove. The palate is layered with plenty of dried fruit, orange zest, praline, and signature vanilla notes. Pastry notes linger through the long finish with more dried fruit and a creamy sweetness. 106 Proof
