The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog in New York City is home to the largest collection of Irish whiskey in North America, so it was only a matter of time before it got its very own Irish whiskey! By teaming up with Darryl McNally, master distiller at , they have created this excellent expression. It’s based around a 5 year old whiskey matured in ex-bourbon barrels, which has then been finished in ’half-sized’ virgin American oak barrels.
Nose: Cedar, toasted brown sugar, apricot-filled pastries.
Palate: Caramel and vanilla sit up front, with notes of nutmeg, milky coffee and macadamia developing in the background.
Finish: Lingering waxy fruit and a tickle of black pepper.
