Great Earl Single Grain Irish Whiskey 70cl

Great Earl Irish Whiskey

Great Earl Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a combination of Rechar-barrelled grain Irish whiskey and virgin oak grain, matured for 45 months and then merged to spend a further minimum period of 3 months in ex-Sangiovese casks, sourced exclusively for us from the Lazio region of Italy, a nod to the final resting place of the Great Earl in the Vatican in Rome. 

Nose:

• Sweet, candy- like
• Vanilla and cask influence, woody
• Buttery/marzipan

Colour:

A mid-golden colour with a little hint of the ruby red of the Sangiovese cask coming through in a slightly pinkish tinge. Taste:

• Sweet, ripe blackberry & honey
• A hint of tartness/sharpness, a little elderberry
• Also a hint of white pepper spice and a little tannin from the wine

Finish:

• Creamy mouth feel: coats the mouth nicely.
• Mid-bodied
• Decent length, strong.
