Producer Tasting Note
Nose: The influence of the Sherry cask is forever present, with notes of dark chocolate.
Palate: This is filled with a beautiful toasted oak and sweet sherried raisins giving a complexity that is satisfying to the palate.
Finish: The finish comes in a combination of nutty oloroso sherry as well as a dark chocolate that begs to continue.

What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.
