The Whistler Double Oaked

Fine enough for a random weeknight or in the right mixed drink, but quite perfect for Irish coffee; the vanilla and orange punch through perfectly without other notes / astringency overpowering the coffee or cream too much.

The Whistler Double Oaked is the second of for whiskies I’ve tasted from the Boann Distillery. Overall, it was very fruity and light but lacked depth and complexity. The Double Oaked expression is a blend of 80% grain (corn) whiskey and 20% single malt (barley). It is then matured in matured in ex-bourbon barrels married with ex-sherry barrels The Double Oaked is bottled at 40% ABV. Color: Burnt Gold The nose was full of intense grassy aromas with floral sweetness aside notes of vanilla, honeysuckle, green apple, pineapple, banana, and melon. The palate was fruiting and nutty with notes of honey, cereal, banana, citrus fruits, and spice on the front but fades after a few seconds. The finish is rather short and light with lingering notes of oak, citrus fruits, and oats.
