18 Year Irish Whiskey is a blend of whiskies aged in American bourbon barrels and European oak casks, before finally being finished in first-fill bourbon barrels.The nose opens with spicy oak and toffee, which is followed by more toffee and fudge notes on the palate, as well as subtle hints of sherry. The bourbon cask finishing leads to a smooth, vanilla finish, brightened by previous notes of toffee and caramel.Cheers, and enjoy this whiskey!
