Velvet Cap Irish Whiskey
€39.95
Velvet Cap Irish whiskey is a small batch blend of malt and grain whiskeys sourced from the finest distilleries. After blending, the whiskey rests in a selection of bourbon, port and stouted rye casks to let the flavour marry.
The Velvet Cap brand has been revived by Blackwater Distillery in County Waterford. Velvet caps were traditionally worn by jockeys in point-to-point racing, dating from 1752. Riders raced over fence and ditch between two churches – from one steeple to another, hence the term ‘steeplechase’.
Blended and bottled at 40% ABV by Blackwater Distillery.

TASTING NOTES
| Nose | A delightful blend of honeyed stone fruit and a hint of plum jam complements the aromas of banana bread, vanilla, marzipan, and cocoa. |
|---|---|
| Palate | Nutty malt and vanilla biscuits mingle with deeper dark stone fruits, supported by smooth caramel and a subtle touch of herbaceous oak. |
| Finish | The finish features candied mango, accompanied by a sprinkle of cinnamon, fruity granola, black pepper, and cacao. |
