THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION Art & Collectibles · 10 DECEMBER 2016 AT 2PM
TASTING NOTE:
Bright bronze in colour with the faintest green tinge. The aromas are harmonious and enticing with touches
of beeswax, melon, white chocolate, linseed oil, dried apricots, sultanas and poached pears. Very typical
of old Dublin pot still whiskeys, with just a faint hint of old engine oil on the nose. The palate is dry and
very smooth. No harsh oak as can often be found in very old whiskeys. Flavours of honey, pepper, sultanas,
stewed fruits, mocha and rich sherry. The quality really shines through on the finish which is long lasting
and rich.
