Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

After 14 years in Bourboun barrels, it spent two years in Oloroso Sherry casks giving it a round, sweet and nutty finish. Triple distilled, this rich and delicious single malt Irish Whiskey shows sweet malt, candied citrus, and salted caramel leading to a long and creamy smooth finish. Very impressive. Tasted bottle 2574/4000, February 2016. 95 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
This Irish single malt was bottled in 2013 after maturing for more than 14 years in Bourbon barrels then with a Sherry Finish (briefly aged in barrels formerly used to age Olorso Sherry). Toffee and caramel on the nose. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
