This limited edition Master Blender’s expresses all the originality of an exclusive finish in Bordeaux red wine casks . The blend brings together triple-distilled Irish whiskeys, mainly composed of grains and malts initially aged in bourbon casks before being refined for several months in Bordeaux barrels selected for their structure and the complexity of their tannins. Bottled at 46%, without any coloring or chill filtration, this vintage preserves the richness of the texture and the aromatic intensity of the distillate. Limited edition available exclusively at Clos des Spiritueux, depending on the arrival of the best casks.
On the nose, this whiskey seduces with a profusion of red and black fruits : blackcurrant, morello cherry, raspberry, enhanced by delicate notes of vanilla, acacia honey and a subtle woody touch of cedar. The palate, rich and velvety, reveals an attack of strawberry jam and plum, a heart marked by golden malt , delicate caramel and perfectly balanced sweet spices. The passage in Bordeaux casks offers an elegant tannic grain which enhances the structure without ever hardening the aromatic profile. The long and clean finish stretches on blood orange, bitter cocoa, liquorice and a subtle vinous return, signature of great tasting spirits.
As for pairings, serve this exceptional whiskey neat in a tulip glass between 16 and 18°C, or with a few drops of water to fully reveal its red fruit aromas. It will pair perfectly with duck breast, spiced roast pork, 24-month aged Comté cheese, mature cheddar, or even a large 70% dark chocolate. For your cocktail creations, it will revolutionize an Old Fashioned with bitter cocoa or offer a sophisticated Irish version of the Manhattan. Discover it at Clos des Spiritueux , your wine merchant specializing in rare and premium spirits.
