Single Pot Still — Ireland

Bottle no 58 out of only 600 – produced in October 1997. Entirely matured in a fresh sherry barrel for over 17 years and bottled at cask strength - 58.5%.
Taste - Thick, oily and mouth-filling. Chewy and spicy with some more rum-like touches. Flavours of roasted nuts, caramel toffees, liquorice, orange peel, old oak, Oloroso sherry, leather and dark chocolate.
Finish - Very long with a rich spiciness.
Beautiful thick and fruity. Best in its class that Ive tasted.

@PBMichiganWolverine Agreed. I think it might be exclusive to the Celtic Whiskey Shop, Dawson Street, Dublin 2. They have a 1997 bottle for sale at €370 and a 2001 at €280. Really good - the 2001 one worth the price.
@arcarey I remember this one...was hoping to get my hands on it. It’s now a unicorn. Quite possibly one of the best Irish, or at least in the top 5
@Soba45 Definitely within my top 10 whiskeys ever tasted.
Damn I'd love to try that one!
