This fine 20 Year Old Malt release in our Ahascragh Distillers Family Bond Series was double distilled in 2001, carefully matured for 19 long years in American Bourbon Barrels and finished for one more year in Italian Amarone casks.
Irish legend tells the story of the Three Colla brothers, Colla Uais, Colla Fo Chrí and Colla Menn who conquered and ruled over most of Ireland with Colla Uais becoming Ard Rí or High King of Ireland in the 4th century.
Time spent in the Bourbon Barrels lays down flavours that have become the signatures of Irish Whiskey. A perfect harmony of honeycomb, vanilla and caramel. Finishing in the Amarone cask elevates this remarkable whiskey to new heights of texture and flavour. Red fruits, milk chocolate and nutmeg explode on the palate and lead to a lasting, velvet finish.
