Tipperary Distillery is not yet built so this is merely a hint of what they hope to produce themselves. Just six (bourbon aged) Irish whiskey casks were sourced with a minimum age of 11 years.
Aromas of honey, barley sugar and a background of vanilla — supremely smooth on the palate with touches of citrus, chocolate and a creamy spicy finish. An excellent beginning!
