FINVARA The King's Gambit is made using only the finest ingredients from the rolling hills of Ireland: pure grain, malted and unmalted barley and a special sherry malt. Gently triple distilled in copper pot stills using traditional methods, the whiskey is then aged for several years in carefully selected bourbon barrels in the rugged climate of the Emerald Isle.
Tasting Notes:
APPEARANCE
The whiskey has a rich golden hue with hints of amber, displaying its maturation in a variety of casks.
PALATE
Complex, well-balanced and smooth.
The malt whiskey, with its triple distillation and finishing in oloroso sherry casks, adds depth, complexity and roundness. Rich flavours of raisins, figs, notes of toffee, honey, vanilla and a touch of dark chocolate.
Subtle spices, such as cinnamon and
nutmeg.
NOSE
A delightful blend of sweet and spicy aromas. Notes of vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks, complemented by the warmth of oak and a touch of toasted coconut from the virgin oak casks. A subtle smoky, tobacco like note and charred character from the re-charred oak casks.
Gentle hints of dried fruits and nuttiness from the oloroso sherry cask influence.
FINISH
The finish is medium to long, leaving a lingering sweetness on the palate. The grain whiskey's smoothness remains present throughout, with its final notes are pleasantly warm and comforting.
