Fercullen 15 Year Old Single Grain
Fercullen 15-Year-Old Irish Whiskey is crafted from a blend of corn and malt, undergoing an initial maturation period of 15 years in premium, first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. A portion of this whiskey is then finished in second-fill Madeira casks, adding a rich depth of flavor and notes of dried fruit spice. Bottled at 41.5% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, this whiskey serves as an excellent introduction to the aged category for the discerning whiskey enthusiast.
The intricate process of aging and finishing results in a complex yet harmonious profile that delights the palate. On the nose, one can detect inviting aromas of vanilla, honey, and subtle oak, mingling with hints of apricot and raisin from the Madeira cask influence. The first sip reveals a smooth, velvety texture, with layers of caramel, toasted nuts, and a gentle spice that lingers pleasantly. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a warm, honeyed aftertaste that beckons for another sip.
