Celtic Cask Cúig 1991

Despite the vintage statement this is 13 year old single pot still matured in first-fill bourbon. Apparently it was MIA for eight years before being bottled. Peeled apples crackerbread Quaker oats ripening pears cappuccino sprinkles and lightly toasted spices make for a well-composed and inviting prospect. Enveloping and oily with tarte aux pommes fruit polos allspice and ground ginger. After a brief effervescent fizzle it expands to become creamier and the spices carry on long after you have swallowed. €350
