Garavogue 20 Year Old Irish Whiskey - 47% 70cl

This 20 year old single malt originates from Hawk’s Rock Distillery in County Sligo, Ireland.

Master Blender Helen Mulholland, first female in her role in Irish Whiskey designed this limited-edition release.

The spirit is double-distilled and matured for 14 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks and then finished for at least six years in Muscat, Sauternes, Pedro Ximenez sherry and Barbadian rum casks.

Serve neat or with a splash of water to reveal more fruit and floral layers. Pair with buttery desserts, stone fruits or mild cheeses to complement the vanilla, citrus and raisin character.

Bottled at 47 % ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration noted.

Nose: Aromas of vanilla, warm peach, spun sugar from the Sauternes, plus floral and raisin from Muscat and PX sherry.

Palate: Buttery ripe apples, fresh citrus, sweet vanilla and juicy fruit, balanced by oak spice and rum cask warmth.

Finish: Lingering fruit sweetness, gentle spice and oak, with layered raisins and soft florals to close.
