Blacks Black Smoke Heavily Peated Blended Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Produced by the Blacks Brewery & Distillery in Kinsale, County Cork, this whiskey is unusual for the typically light, unpeated Irish category. Easy sipping and sweetly smoked, the flavours evoke honey-glazed ham drizzled with Caol Ila, sweet pipe tobacco and baked citrus; the balance is spot on, the drinkability effortless, all without compromising length or interest. Coming from Ireland (or any country), it's a surprisingly delicious option for peat lovers that also swims well with water. 43% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Nose: Smokey peatiness balanced by floral heather notes and hints of honey and oak. Palate: Silky smooth with toffee crisp like sweetness, followed by more complex aromas of malt and stoned fruit giving way to the intensifying full-bodied peat. Finish: A long-lasting finish with golden honey notes and deep peat coating across the mouth and palate.
