Tasting Notes
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant flavors of the Holy Land, this exceptional single malt whisky from Ben Èideann seamlessly blends the rich heritage of Scottish distilling with a touch of Mediterranean flair. Aged in American oak bourbon casks, the spirit embraces the warmth of vanilla and caramelized sugars, while the subsequent finishing in Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks, sourced from vineyards nestled in the Jerusalem mountains, infuses the whisky with a delightful symphony of flavors. Notes of blackberry jam and toasted oak intertwine with hints of red grape skin and festive spices, creating a remarkable aroma that tantalizes the senses. On the palate, a delightful contrast unfolds, with vanilla custard and berry crumble joined by barley sugar and spicy oak undertones. The finish lingers with flavors of cooked cherry, melted dark chocolate, and a gentle whisper of fragrant tobacco, leaving a lasting impression that beckons for another sip.
