Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey

About Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey

The Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey is a remarkable spirit that stands out in the world of whiskies. Established in Ireland's County Meath, Slane distillery has a ripe history that dates back to the 18th century and the whiskey-making tradition is passed down through generations. Built at the historic Slane Castle estate, the brand uniquely combines a contemporary feel with its old-age experience. The Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey is a testament to this rich heritage and testament to the skillful artistry of the whiskey craftsman. A blend of spirits aged in three separate casks—virgin oak from Missouri, sherry casks from Spain, and seasoned bourbon casks—this whiskey is a result of deliberate blending efforts. The result is an incredible flavor profile that represents a balance between sweet and spicy notes.

Tasting Notes

With its full-bodied profile, the Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey offers an enticing sensory journey. The nose kicks off with a subtle mix of dried fruits, vanilla, and baking spices courtesy of the sherry and virgin oak casks. On the palate, the mouthfeel is both rich and smooth thanks to the seasoned bourbon casks. You will detect notes of caramel, butterscotch, and oak. The whiskey concludes with a warm, lingering aftertaste filled with wisps of dark chocolate and a delicious hint of spice.

The folks at S&S HQ know that Irish whiskey is called “water of life” for a reason, and after tasting Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey, they've never been more convinced! One of the wonderful things about this whiskey is that its barrels come from a heritage American cooperage, and the flavors that the barrels impart (caramel, a touch of maple and vanilla, toast) all pair beautifully with the profile we’d expect from Irish whiskey, and come through exquisitely in Slane. Enjoyed neat, each sip puts you in the company of a complex yet smooth whiskey, and yet the 40% ABV still has a great backbone for cocktails!
