Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with natural color; medium legs, non-chill filtered
Nose
Pastry cream, darkly toasted bread, cracked black pepper, dried apricots. Grassy-green aromas — kiwi, tomatillo, cut grass, tomato leaf. Roasty undertone with a touch of meatiness
Palate
Full, rich, oily, and salty. Toasted bread, buttery oatmeal, dark honey, and marmalade. Barley-forward with grain character leading over cask influence. Complex terroir expression from 25 different Irish farms
Finish
Medium finish with citric tartness, warm hay, and a slight industrial cast. Peanut notes from young malt. The grain character persists through the finish — terroir over maturation
