This globally awarded, single grain whiskey has been aged twice – first in American oak Bourbon barrels and again in Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry barrels. While the Bourbon barrels brings a sweetness and smooth vanilla notes, the Oloroso casks layer on depth of dried fruit and Spanish oak spices.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Very bright and yellow, translucent. Many even spaced and quick legs.
Nose: Sticky, rich, cloying sweetness. A little tropical, like date cake. A burnt sugar note prevails over the top. Revisiting the nose after a few sips brings a bit of musk to the aroma. 
Palate: Light in texture and begins worlds away from what the nose would have you believe. Spiced pears are the first note I get, with the spice lingering past the fruit. The mid palate tastes a bit rummy, leading into a sweet finish much more reminiscent of the nose. A bit of butter and vanilla add to that flavor. Finishes quick and almost a tad bitter.

It is better to drink it neat, on ice, or with soda. For a delicious Double Barrel cocktail, try The Lough Inn recipe. It will make you think twice about Irish whiskey.
