Description
Crafted by industry legend Brian Nation, this cask strength expression is a bold exploration of what happens when two great whiskey traditions collide. By blending rich American bourbon with the earthy spices of Irish pot still and the buttery sweetness of Irish grain, this whiskey offers an intense yet remarkably oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. At 118 proof, it delivers a powerful burst of flavor that highlights the team's dedication to finding the perfect balance after testing over 140 different variations. It is a high energy spirit that rewards the adventurous drinker with deep complexity and a long, warming finish.
