The Whistler Imperial Stout Cask Finish (Batch 003), 46%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
Finished in Lough Gill’s Imperial stout barrels, the nose is a delight of chocolate lava cake, dusty cacao, vanilla seeds, roasted espresso, strawberry fruit pastilles, and blackened spices. Thick, unctuous, and deliciously chocolaty on the tongue, this has flavors of ganache, mocha, blackberry, blueberry, and cocoa powder. The lengthy mouth-coating flavors of runny chocolate and Concord grape jelly. An indulgent pour for any whiskey lovin’ chocaholic.
