Athru Annacoona 14 Year Old , 70cl, 48% vol.
Introducing the first Athrú single malt whiskey from the Lough Gill Distillery in Co. Sligo, Ireland. Crafted by Billy Walker, a former Global Distiller of the Year, this single malt was first matured in American bourbon casks and finished for three years in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. Limited to 6,600 individually numbered and signed bottles.
The first single malt whiskey expression from the Lough Gill Distillery team is a testament to their craftsmanship. This whiskey spent 11 years maturing in ex-bourbon American oak casks before being finished for an additional three years in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks.
Annacoona is a traditional name for Benbulben, the table topped peak that shelters Lough Gill from northerly winds and the setting for the climax of the old Irish myth about the lovers Diarmait & Grania.
This meticulous maturation process imparts rich layers of flavour, combining the sweetness and depth of sherry with the smooth, vanilla notes from the bourbon casks, resulting in a complex and refined single malt.
Notes: a rich, sweet whiskey. Salted caramel and forest fruits with dark chocolate finish.
