Tasting Notes

Nose

The dram begins with an ethereal amalgamation of sweet mint, baby powder, and grapes. The oak is prominent throughout the whiskey, while hearty stone fruits give it body. Apricot and fig are uplifted by French vanilla. Nutmeg and salted almonds give depth to the whiskey.

Palate

Oak and peppercorn start the dram off in a sort of overpowering manner. The whiskey remains very woody throughout, with hints of marzipan and dates. On the breath, sweetness finally comes through with a little bit of red apple. It reminds me of Fig Newtons. Overall, the Lustau Edition is nutty.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash 46% ABV. Triple distilled, single pot still Irish whiskey finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Bodegas Lustau
