Grattansbrook

Edition 1.1

Single Farm Origin (Jan 2021)

UK Market Exclusive

Grattansbrook is on the flat, fertile flood plain of the River Barrow near Athy, Co. Kildare, a stone’s throw from our maltings. Andrew Bergin’s family have farmed here for 9 generations. Following the Farming for Nature protocol, managing the land to bring biological benefits, combined with the productive Elton Series soils derived from limestone, this makes for a fine lowland terroir.

Head Distiller’s Observations

Appearance: Yellow gold, with teardrop oils that may not meet the bottom of the glass. 

Nose: Red apple, marzipan, cocoa powder, raisins, rolled barley, green tea, mint leaf, white grapes, fresh soil, green foliage & brown sugar.

Taste: Spiciness that reminds me of Chinese Five Spice; orange & lemon zest, toffee shards, barley sugar, lemon sherbet & banana.

Finish: The heat from the spice gives way to dryness, which then brings on a lovely oiliness at the end.
