Tasting Notes
The Fercullen 20 Year Old - Five Elements 2021 is a symphony of flavors masterfully crafted by Noel Sweeney, the talented distiller behind this expression. Imagine the sweet candied pineapple and plum notes mingling with the earthy grassy barley and subtle sawdust nuances on the nose. As you take a sip, the malty chocolate and fruitcake flavors dance on your palate, accompanied by the zesty orange peels, juicy red grapes, and a hint of warm clove and cinnamon spice. The finish lingers with a delightful honeyed sweetness, leaving you craving for more. This single malt Irish whiskey is a true masterpiece, a result of Sweeney's expertise in harmonizing the distinct flavors imparted by the bourbon, Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, Marsala, and Muscatel casks. A brilliantly flavoursome yet well-balanced dram that celebrates the art of whiskey-making.
