Palate: Damson and honey, followed by drying touches of cacao and cinnamon.

Finish: Juicy red berries and spiced fruit compot

The first ever single pot still Irish whiskey finished in Bordeaux casks! The choice of Bordeaux wine is also significant - Ch. L?oville Barton is not only a highly-regarded grand cru Ch?teau, but one that takes it's name from the Irish 'Wine Geese' winemaker Thomas Barton. In fact, L?oville Barton is still run by his descendants to this day. This bottling is a celebration of shared Irish heritage.

Matured initially in a mixture of ex-Oloroso Sherry, fresh American oak and ex-bourbon barrels, this Green Spot whiskey is then finished in the ex-Ch?teau L?oville Barton Bordeaux wine casks for 12 to 24 months.

Nose: Wild raspberry, pot pourri, crab apple, honey and gingerbread.

Palate: Toffee, green apple, lemon peel, vanilla, redcurrant and warming spice.

Finish: Long and quite dry with cereal and plenty more spiciness!

The Tullamore Dew 12 years old is a triple distilled blend of three types of Irish whiskey - pot still, malt and 'golden grain', matured for 12 years in a combination of American and European oak casks. Soft and creamy with an added richness from the sherry casks, this is a deeper and more complex Tullamore than usual.

A single malt released under the Tullamore DEW label, triple distilled in the Irish tradition and then finished in a range of different casks: bourbon, oloroso sherry, port and madeira. The result is a complex and spicy whiskey with creamy and fruity notes.

A superb Irish single malt, with a creamy character and a wonderfully smooth palate. Very drinkable

Amrut Two Continents Single Malt Whisky is made from select Indian barley grown at the feet of Himalayas. It is carefully mashed and distilled in small batches to preserve the natural aroma and matured across the Two Continents of Asia and Europe. To retain the natural characteristics of this oak aged Indian Malt Whisky this product is not chill filtered and some haze may therefore be noticed in the product.

With age comes more character, an incredibly balanced dram. This mature blend has complex spice, gentle peat and tobacco-like notes perfectly balanced with dried fruits and nutty undertones.

A 16 Year Old bottling of Old Pulteney which has been treated to a double maturation! Having been aged in both American oak bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak casks, the fruity and spicy nature of the casks compliment the maritime malt very well

This fascinating and delicious expression has been created especially for Dramfest 2023 by Patrick Newton our head distiller and exemplifies our DYAD wine finish range. Double distilled in copper pot stills in February 2018 from NZ peated malt, the whisky was then aged in bourbon casks for 4 years. Patrick also made the Waiheke Island vintage fortified 'port' wine which was aged in American oak barrels. It was these barrels that, once emptied, were used to finish this single malt whisky for one year prior to bottling.

Dyad is our wine barrel finish range. This release distilled in 2015 is made from unpeated New Zealand malt. Double distilled in copper pot stills and firstly matured in a refill bourbon barrel, before being finished in a French oak ex Chardonnay barrel from our friends at Mudbrick Vineyard on Waiheke Island. A rich and inviting nose leads to a complex palate with some umami character. An oily mouthfeel, well balanced with both sugar and lemon notes. A long finish with hints of a nutty, yeasty character from the Chardonnay.

Made from peated New Zealand malt, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged in American oak casks. Full bodied and easy drinking, Moss is a gateway to New Zealand peat. A crowd-pleasing whisky with floral aromas of jasmine, liquorice, vanilla bean and cough syrup, created by the interaction of the lightly peated malt with the American oak wine barrels, which have been shaved, toasted and re-charred (STR). Further maturation in first fill bourbon barrels provides a creamy texture and a long lingering finish with spice and sweet fruit, and a teasing hint of smoke.

Made from New Zealand malt, double distilled in copper  pot stills and aged for 5 years in French oak ex white wine casks, which have been shaved, toasted and re-charred, then finished in ex-bourbon barrels. Sweet and malty aromas on the nose lead to primary tastes of candied orange peel and honeycomb on the palate. The finish in American oak lends notes of almonds, clove and vanilla. This mouth coating, easy drinking whisky surprises with the bourbon creaminess giving way to a long peppery dry finish.
