Fercullen Falls
Fercullen Falls is a small batch Irish Blended whiskey incorporating whiskey from its own Powerscourt Distillery for the very first time. This is a very rich blend of 50% single malt and 50% Irish grain whiskey, with the single malt matured in first fill ex-bourbon barrels and the grain whiskey in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and all-new "heavily charred" oak casks .
The name Fercullen Falls refers to the highest waterfall (121 meters) in Ireland, which is located not far away from the distillery.
Taste note:
Nose: Cinnamon with fresh fruit from the orchard with brown sugar, toffee and warm bread. The herbs linger nicely.
Taste:Rrich, soft and sweet at the same time with vanilla icing, and malt spice and peppery cloves.
Finish: warming with the spices with a firm mouthfeel that also explores the corners of the tongue.
Delicious to drink pure, but also very suitable as a basis for your favorite cocktail.
