Appearance:
Deep golden amber with rich honey, copper, and polished bronze highlights.
Aroma:
An elegant bouquet of honeyed apricots, ripe pear, and soft vanilla cream opens the nose. Dried fruit, toasted oak, and delicate floral sweetness emerge underneath, with the Tokaji cask contributing an enticing wine-like richness.
Palate:
Rich, velvety, and exceptionally layered:
Caramelized sugar, toffee, and butterscotch create a luxurious opening
Ripe peach and pear provide concentrated orchard-fruit character
Tokaji casks introduce sweet wine and dried-fruit complexity
Orange zest adds brightness and freshness
Vanilla and honey provide a creamy underlying sweetness
Dark chocolate introduces a sophisticated bittersweet dimension
Mature oak and warming spice balance the fruit beautifully
The 97 Proof bottling provides impressive richness while maintaining the elegance expected from a 21-year Irish single malt
Finish:
Long, smooth, and beautifully evolving, with lingering dried fruit, sweet Tokaji wine, vanilla, oak, and warming spice. The combination of more than two decades of maturation and a rare Tokaji cask finish creates an exceptionally refined Irish whiskey that showcases both the depth of mature single malt and Brian Nation's approach to luxury cask finishing.
