Set Boann Single Pot Still Madeira Cask + P.X. Cask + Marsala Cask
Boann Single Pot Still Madeira Cask originally matured in ex-bourbon casks from the famous Brown-Forman of Kentucky, made from American oak (Quercus Alba) with a heavy char.
These casks were filled with a blended mash distillate of Single Pot Still, which contained malted barley, unmalted barley, oats, and rye. All these grains come from Ireland and are locally grown.
In collaboration with the renowned Madeira house, Justino's, the distillery acquired some of their finest casks after Madeira wines Tinta Negro (1998 and 2000), Boal (1999), and Sercial (1999, 2000, and 2006) Madeira Colheita single varietals. They gained access to these casks through a friendship that developed from a previous special collaboration.
The wines were fortified and underwent the canteiro process, where the wine matures in casks at naturally high temperatures in the cask storage room, mimicking the sea maturation during maritime voyages in the past on Portuguese galleons in the Middle Ages.
These Madeira wines ranged from sweet to medium-bodied to dry, offering depth and breadth of terroir from the volcanic island of Madeira. The label design of this expression speaks of water, which is an essential ingredient in whisky production. It is also a tribute to the flowing waters of the River Boyne, as well as the North Atlantic Ocean surrounding the Madeira islands.
A vibrant aroma with enticing notes of apples and peaches, followed by wonderful honey tones, toasted oak, spices, with a hint of floral scents playing nicely in the background. The taste is velvety smooth with peaches and cream on the entry, layered with vanilla, walnuts, dried fruit cake, and a gentle minerality throughout. The finish is long with fresh lemon oil and lingering spicy notes. A tropical voyage through the Atlantic islands!
Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 47% with a volume of 0.7 l and are delivered in gift cartons.
Boann Single Pot Still Marsala Cask was originally aged in ex-bourbon casks from the famous Brown-Forman in Kentucky and is made from American oak (Quercus Alba) with a heavy char. These casks were filled with a blended mash distillate of Single Pot Still, which contained malted barley, unmalted barley, oats, and rye.
All these grains are Irish and locally grown. In collaboration with the renowned Marsala house, Cantine de Vinci, the distillery acquired selected Superiore and Fine Marsala Butts from French oak (Quercus Petraea). The casks were filled with bourbon - aged Single Pot Still, which has a true American oak base of vanilla and honey and then layered with characteristics of French oak - spice and juicy citrus notes from the Marsala wine.
The label design depicts Irish local barley used in the mashes. The whiskey's aroma is evocative with subtle spice supported by resinous bark and the scent of burnt orange, with notes of freshly mown grass and floral honey. The taste is rich and viscous with sweet marmalade on the entry, followed by minty and oaky spice. The finish is full of cinnamon and cloves. A citrus Sicilian adventure!

Boann PX Single Pot Still originally matured in ex-sherry Oloroso casks Hogsheads from Bodegas Garvey's in Jerez da la Frontera, Spain. These 250-liter oak barrels made from American oak (Quercus Alba) were selected together with George Espie (RIP ex Master of Wood from The Macallan) and Venturo Nunez from the renowned Vasyma Cooperage in Jerez.
These casks were filled with a blended mash distillate of Single Pot Still, which contained malted barley, unmalted barley, oats, and rye. All these grains come from Ireland and are locally grown. The distillery then acquired the most amazing PX casks. These PX Butts with a volume of 500 liters and more were discovered by a partner cooperage in Andalusia, R.L. Rodriguez, and originate from the Mediterranean climate of Malaga.
They have been in the vintage system PX Solera for over 60 years and were extremely dense. Part of these casks is made exclusively from chestnut, which is a very rare wood variety for aging whiskey in Ireland. In Scotland, spirits can only mature in oak casks. In these rare historical PX Solera casks, great Oloroso Sherry was then finished, where the whiskey subsequently matured.
By aligning the aging in Oloroso Sherry casks with rich Spanish PX Butts, something truly exceptional and decadent was created. The label design of this expression speaks of the wood and the grain of the cask.
The aroma of the whiskey is decadent, full of raisins and figs, beautifully supported by molasses, sweet caramel, and a hint of leather. The taste is sweet and full of spicy notes with a wonderful blend of honey syrup, delicate bitter chocolate, crispy bacon, and white pepper. The finish is long and rich, with an earthy caramel flavor that lingers long after the last sip. Fruit bomb PX!
