SWEET & SPICY || Boann Single Pot Still - Madeira Cask Finish

Описание: SWEET and SPICY!

Is their new Single Pot Still, finished in Madeira wine casks a good whiskey? Let's find out!

This week, we're looking at the second of three new whiskeys from the Boann distillery. While they still release sourced whiskey under the "Whistler" range, this is entirely their own distillate!

It's about three and a half years old, and spent about two and a half years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in Madeira wine casks for a year. It comes in at 47% ABV, is natural colour and non-chill filtered.

While this is a core product, it will evolve over time, as future bottlings will incorporate older whiskeys as their stocks mature, and the mashbill will change. That's because when they first started running their stills, Boann were using a 50/50 split of malted and unmalted barley, but they have since switched over to a slightly more complex mashbill of 50% unmalted barley, 48.5% malted barley, 1.1% oats and 0.4% rye. While that sounds like it's only a small change, it actually has a huge impact on the final spirit, and their New Make has won plenty of awards, so expect the profile to evolve in the coming years.

But it's what's inside THIS bottle right now that counts, so let's get to it!

Boann Single Pot Still - Madeira Cask Finish Tasting Notes

Nose:
Quite fruity and sweet on the nose, with red apples, floral apple blossom, some citrus oils and a nice creamy richness.

Palate:
The palate is immediately caramel-sweet, with creamy toffee and milk chocolate, more of the apple notes, but a significantly spicier character than the nose suggested. The oak is present as some nice tannins, cocoa powder and earthy cocospice.

Finish:
It's not the longest finish, but it is nicely rounded off, with a light peppery tingle from the oak and pot still spice

I'm a total whiskey nerd and this channel is all about Whiskey, Whisky, Bourbon, Rye, Pot Still Whiskey and Single Malt Whiskey. I'm always on the hunt for the best whiskey and love making whiskey review videos. My passion is for Irish whiskey, but I'm open to looking for the best Bourbon or the best scotch too!

I'm an Irishman, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying whiskeys from all around the world, from Kentucky bourbon to Japanese single malts. I also love making cocktails, especially whiskey cocktails (or whisky cocktails) and really enjoy taking a classic recipe and adding my own twist to it, or making simple, 3 ingredient cocktails

Make sure to subscribe for reviews every Wednesday and cocktail recipes every Friday!
