Tasting Notes

Slane Irish Whiskey is a triple-casked blend, matured in virgin oak, seasoned American whiskey barrels, and Oloroso sherry casks. This combination creates a smooth, layered profile. The nose opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch, accented by dried fruit, spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is rich and approachable, offering flavors of toffee, baking spice, roasted nuts, and dark fruit balanced by subtle cocoa and honey. The triple-cask maturation provides both sweetness and depth, with a rounded mouthfeel. The finish is medium to long, leaving notes of caramel, oak, and gentle spice.
