Boann Madeira Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is made from a mashbill of malted barley, unmalted barley, oats and rye, all grown in Ireland. It is first matured in heavily charred 200-liter American oak ex-bourbon barrels from Brown-Forman, then finished in French oak Marsala wine casks sourced from Cantine de Vinci in Sicily. Bottled at 47% ABV in a 700ml format, it is non-chill filtered and retails for around $68.
Flavors of vanilla, peach, and apricot are backed by peppery spices, then walnut, chocolate orange, Oreo cookies, wood spices, and cacao notes. The finish is drying, with spiced nuts.
