Boann Single Pot Still Marsala Cask

Boann Single Pot Still Marsala Cask was originally aged in ex-bourbon barrels by the famous Brown Forman of Kentucky and are made from American oak (Quercus Alba) with heavy charring. These barrels were filled with a blended Single Pot Still mash that included malted barley, unmalted barley, oats and rye.

All of these grains are Irish and grown locally. In collaboration with the famous Marsala house , Cantine de Vinci, the distillery sourced selected casks of Superiore and Fine Marsala Butts from French oak (Quercus Petraea). The barrels were filled with bourbon - an aged Single Pot Still that has a true American oak base of vanilla and honey, and then layered with French oak characteristics - spice and juicy citrus notes from the Marsala wine.

The label design depicts the local Irish barley used in the mash bill. The aroma of the whiskey is evocative with subtle spice backed by resinous zest and burnt orange scents, with notes of freshly cut grass and floral honey. The palate is rich and viscous with sweet marmalade on the entry, which is replaced by mint and oak spice. The finish is full of cinnamon and cloves. A citrus Sicilian adventure!

The bottles are filled with 47 % alcohol with a volume of 0,7 l and are delivered in gift cartons.
