Whiskey Samples Are On The Way!

Whistler Blue Note 7 Year Old

 

For our first whiskey sample of 2017 we are happy to offer a relatively new single malt from one of the newly formed distilleries in Ireland.

Whistler 7 Year-Old Blue Note is an Irish single malt that has just won a Gold Medal at the World Whiskey Awards. It was aged in ex-Bourbon barrels and has been finished in the finest oloroso sherry casks. Like most good whiskeys it is not chill filtered and is bottled at 46%. Boann Distillery’s Whistler range also includes 10 year-old and cask strength single malts which are well worth investigating.

Please note that there is a change in the planned date for our usual tweet tasting.

This will now take place on Monday 20th March at 7.30pm.

As usual we will be tweeting from @celticwhiskeycl and this time the hashtag will be #whistler7

If you have not taken part in our tweet tastings before then feel free to join in for some informative and enjoyable chat. It takes about half an hour from start to finish and is a great way to share your thoughts on the whiskey.

 

December Whiskey Samples - Celtic Cask Sé Déag, 16

We are pleased to offer the final sample of 2016 just in time for the festive season.

Celtic Cask Sé Déag (16) is a double distilled single malt that was initially matured in a Bourbon cask for 14 years. It was then re-casked in a special Anima Negra red wine barrel for over 2 years. Following on from other very popular Celtic Cask whiskeys this continues our love affair with these barrels from one of Spain's finest wineries. Wine finishes can be tricky to get right but in this case the two elements come together incredibly well! We hope you enjoy this exclusive whiskey.

More details:

Bottling Date      10th November 2016.

Casking Date      19th September 2000.

Alcohol %            46%

Types of Barrel used for Aging:   Finished in an Anima Negra red wine barrel for the final 2 years of maturation.

Tweet Tasting- As usual we will be conducting a tweet tasting where all club members are welcome to join in with tasting notes and discussion. Why not save your sample and join in?

Date: Wednesday 28th December, 7.30pm.

We will be tweeting from @celticwhiskeycl and @celticwhiskey using the hashtag #celticcask16Celtic Cask Sé Déag, 16
