Bourbon-cask whiskey forms the foundation, married with components finished in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The result pairs the gentle sweetness of long maturation with a richer dried-fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sherry casks draw inspiration from the bodegas of Andalucía in southern Spain. Their influence adds depth to a whiskey that retains the fruit and vanilla associated with its bourbon-matured base. Bottled at 46% ABV, this expression offers a layered sipping experience for drinkers exploring older Irish single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a bottle to open when there is time to settle into a tasting. A first impression of fresh fruit and soft sweetness gives way to darker, more rounded flavors, making it an appealing addition to a tasting lineup alongside younger Irish whiskeys or other sherry-influenced malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeydew melon, lychee, vanilla fudge, pear drops and soft leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla fudge, dried fruit, dark chocolate, orange oil and hazelnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet fudge, candied cherries and fruitcake, followed by drying spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e21-year age statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e An opportunity to explore the depth of a well-matured Irish single malt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon-cask foundation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mature single malt provides the core of the marriage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sherry influences:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez finishing components add a different dimension to the bourbon base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e46% ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled at 92 proof for a focused, flavorful sipping experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerscourt selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Released under the Fercullen name by The Powerscourt Distillery in County Wicklow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a small neat pour in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass and allow it a few minutes to open.
