Released in February 2024, this is the first small-batch product from The Busker. Aged in bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts, The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still is fairly affordably priced at $49.99. This is, however, the most premium regular release to date from The Busker, which is known for its obtainable Irish whiskeys.

Welcome complexity on the nose with toffee, orange peel, apple butter, red berries and tobacco. There’s a bit of oak and caramel, some vanilla and a touch of honey.
Moderate palate with pleasant sweetness and complexity. The oloroso contributes a good bit here and shows nicely. Red berries, tobacco, orange peel, apples, pears and cinnamon show through.
Moderate finish with light oak, toffee, blackberry, cherry, cocoa and pepper.
This is a big release and does a great job bringing complexity to The Busker family of releases. The double cask finish works great. This my favorite Busker release so far.
