Ballyhoo Single Grain Irish Whiskey
Ballyhoo Irish Whiskey is hand-bottled at The Connacht Distillery in the rugged west of Ireland. Ballyhoo is a beautifully crafted small batch single grain Irish whiskey with a mash bill of 93% corn imported from France and 7% malted barley. After 4 years of aging, the whiskey is transferred to sweet red tawny port casks from the Douro region of Portugal for a period of 6 months. They do not add artificial colour or caramel, so the product remains quite light in appearance, but with some reddish undertones from the port. Sweet nose with some appealing vanilla notes and floral bouquet to the palate maple syrup with a hint of dark fruit and berry flavours. Wood and vanilla tones. A sweet finish with a warm spicy kick.
