Keeper's Heart 10 year old Malaga Wine Cask Finished, 43%

Price: 100 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Irish Single Malt

Orange and lemon peel, then a citric nose with splashes of vanilla frosting and drying oak. Creamy vanilla leads on a smooth palate, along with brown sugar and oatmeal cookies, accented by balanced pepperoncini spice. The finish is long and flavorful, with orange returning, melding with vanilla custard, peppery spice, and sweet oak. This one can stand with many quality single malts, having great flavor progression from nose to finish.
