Tasting Notes
"Young, sweet, fruity spirit on a backdrop of grain. There's stone fruits, as well as tinned pineapple. It gets fruitier and more tropical over time and the graininess is all but gone now, but then has this mineral edge too. Hard to grasp, in a good way. The oily mouthfeel is highly enjoyable, although the palate is somewhat spicy. The tropical fruits make an encore. This Bannow Island has a highly complex nose—it simply kept changing."
