From the place where the grass is ‘a green’ like no other green in the world. A place entombed in ice for thousands of years and then sculpted by giant glaciers. Today, if you are lucky enough to stand at the church door of St. Patricks Barraniskey at sunset, you will see just why Co. Wicklow is called the Garden of Ireland. The Irish words “Barr an Uisce” (pronounced Bar on Ishka) literal English translation is “above the water”. It is also the Irish name given to Barraniskey, which is a town set in the heart of the beautiful County of Wicklow, on the East Coast of Ireland. The Irish word “Uisce“ or “water” in English, was used during the time Irish monks first distilled what we now know as whiskey. The monks called it “Uisce Beatha” meaning water of life. A beautiful blend of a 21% malt and 79% grain whiskey, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and finished for three months in Oloroso sherry casks.
Nose: Some citrus – clementine peel, lemon. But also lemon-scented cleaner.
Palate: It’s sweet, light, and highly drinkable. Both Sherry cask and bourbon cask are apparent on the mid-palate.
Finish: Finishes very clean, with slight citrus and mint.
