Boann Madeira Cask, 47%

Price: 60 Issue: Winter 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Pot Still

Spice-forward on a nose of finely ground aromatic spices, jasmine, zested lemon on vanilla cheesecake, blossom honey, ripe stone fruits, and creamy panna cotta. Flavors of vanilla, peach, and apricot are backed by peppery spices, then walnut, chocolate orange, Oreo cookies, wood spices, and cacao notes. The finish is drying, with spiced nuts.
