Intro:
A blend of Irish and American whiskeys bottled by Minnesota producer Keeper's Heart, this is a proofed-up version of the brand's base Irish + American expression. Specifically, the blend is composed of Irish triple-distilled pot still whiskey made from malted and unmalted barley, aged at least four years in bourbon barrels; Irish grain whiskey made from maize and malt, aged at least four years in bourbon barrels; and American rye whiskey distilled from a mashbill containing 95% rye, aged at least four years in new oak barrels.
-
Nose:
Bunches of baking spice, fresh pastry, honey, peach rings, candied ginger. Zesty and spice-forward.
-
Taste:
Pleasant palate. The bump in proof is welcome and brings with it honey, orange peel, brown sugar, peach cobbler, sweet cream and a dollop of almond.
-
Finish:
Long finish, clove, pepper, brown sugar, and a touch of peach cobbler.
-
Overall:
Big improvement over the standard Keeper's expressions, this is packed full of flavor showing each component's strengths.
