Thomond Gate Miguel Hogan Ruby Port Cask Finish
€75.00
Thomond Gate Miguel Hogan Ruby Port Cask Finish honours Michael “Galloping” Hogan, the famed rapparee from East Limerick whose courage shaped both Irish and Portuguese history. After guiding Sarsfield’s daring attack on the Williamite siege train at Ballyneety in 1690 — where he is said to have lit the fuse — Hogan refused to accept the Treaty of Limerick and later departed with the last of the Wild Geese in 1692.
His journey took him to France, where he rose through the ranks before a duel in Flanders in 1706 forced him into exile once more. Portugal became his new home. There, as Miguel Hogan, he served as a senior officer and led Portuguese forces at the Battle of Campo Maior in 1712. He remained in Portugal for the rest of his life, becoming part of its military heritage.
TASTING NOTES
| Nose | A fragrant interplay of pot still spice and rye warmth. Notes of soft vanilla, honeycomb, dried apricot, and orange zest, with hints of molasses, cocoa, and toasted oak from the rum-seasoned cask. |
|---|---|
| Palate | Silky and complex. Waves of rye spice, stewed orchard fruits, and chocolate-dipped orange peel unfold, followed by fig, caramelised sugar, and gentle tropical tones. The pot still base adds a robust backbone of cereal, sweet spice, and creamy texture. |
| Finish | Long, warming, and subtly sweet. Cocoa, clove, and waxy honey linger alongside soft oak, a touch of pepper, and a final echo of rye grain. In stock 1 Add to cart Additional information |
