Micro Cuvée

Description

Roots – Racines – those undersung subterranean heroes; the conduits for flavour itself. In our farm-by-farm unearthing of barley’s natural flavour we reach out, root by root, for the quintessence of single malt whisky and true Irish peat. And through our own roots – our wine inspiration, our connections to the great cooperages of France, our delight in the creativity of Cuvée Concepts – we bring those terroir-driven farm flavours from Ireland to France in this celebratory Micro Cuvée.

Label Artist: Julie Lansom

Appearance:

Golden amber with a slight copper tinge with luscious legs.

Nose:

A subtle wisp of smoke intertwined with dry earthy undertones, reminiscent of a distant bonfire on a summers evening, green apple, pear, honeycomb, custard,  apricots, digestive biscuits, dried flowers.

Taste:

Sweet malty, cough sweets, campfire, dried apricots and sultanas, dark chocolate, liquorice, salted BBQ.

Finish:

The peat lingers delightfully, leaving behind a warm, slightly dryness with hints of dark chocolate and salinity.
