Slane Description
Slane Irish Whiskey is a blended whiskey that includes both malt and grain whiskey. It is “triple casked,” meaning it’s matured in three different cask types: new heavy toast/light char casks from the Brown Forman cooperage, used Tennessee whiskey and bourbon casks, as well as Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. It seems that the liquid spends its entire maturation period in one of these three casks, and is only blended after maturation is complete. There’s no age statement, but to be warrant the name “whiskey” in Ireland, spirit has to spend at least three years in oak, so we know it’s at least that old.
Appearance: Yellow gold
Nose: A sweet and fruity nose delivers cucumber, cantaloupe melon, banana, vanilla frosting, and fresh grain. A bit of oaky spice emerges after some time in the glass, alongside a tooth-jarringly sweet overtone of spun sugar and caramel.
Palate: Sweetness again dominates here, with banana cream pie, banana bread, clove, incense, toffee, raw grain, and toasted nuts. An almost brandy-like fruitiness emerges at the finish, complete with soaked raisins and ripe melon.
