The Whistler Imperial Stout Cask Finish (Batch 002), 43%

Price: 40 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Irish Whiskey


Deploying sherry casks seasoned with O'Hara's Brewery's stout, this delivers a delightful balance of fresh fruit and chocolate notes, with aromas of sweet vanilla, malt, coffee, orange, and melon. Charming sherry and light berry notes initially, a beautiful slow-paced development from the stout influence ensues, as the texture thickens satisfyingly with citrus, gentle spices, vine fruit, ginger nuts, crystalized pineapple, malty chocolate, and mocha.
