Light woodiness greets the nose with a hint of vanilla. The palate presents a smooth entry, with a strong oak character following, succeeded by dessert-like notes of toffee, salted caramel, vanilla bean, and espresso. This all comes back together in a rush at the end, with the cask staves leaving a somewhat bitter tannic finish. We'd recommend this as a shot paired with an Irish Stout, or used in a traditional Irish Coffee to add some depth.
