Tasting Notes
This Athrú Knocknarea 14 Year Old whiskey is a true delight for the senses. The nose invites you in with enticing aromas of warm cedar wood, rich macadamia nuts, and a fresh, clean linen-like note. As you take a sip, a delightful sherried sweetness unfolds on the palate, complemented by zesty orange and dense raisin flavors, alongside subtle toasty barley hints. The finish lingers with notes of almond, decadent chocolate-covered pears, tobacco leaf, and a pleasant peppercorn spiciness. This Irish single malt whiskey was initially aged in American oak casks, then expertly finished in Oloroso sherry casks, imparting a depth of flavor that is simply remarkable. Hailing from the picturesque Knocknarea Hill in County Sligo, this expression truly captures the essence of Ireland's rugged west coast in a bottle.
