J.J. Corry The Flintlock No. 4 Irish Whiskey 700mL

To create The Flintlock No. 4, six single malt ex-bourbon casks were hand-picked, each from the same distillery, from the J.J. Corry library of Irish Whiskey flavours. Aged 21 years, each single malt was chosen based on its unique flavour profile and attributes. Initially, these casks were blended to develop a vatting that perfectly represents J.J. Corry's juicy fruit house style, before the flavours were married in a Fino Sherry Butt, to harmonize and impart complexity, giving the whiskey a rich, grapelike and floral character. The result is a bright, floral Single Malt Irish Whiskey bursting with white stone fruit flavours, and sweet dried fruits, mellowed with toasted vanilla and almond notes. The Flintlock No. 4 is bottled at 46% ABV without artificial colouring or chill-filtration. The Flintlock series is named after a pistol found concealed in the rafters of J.J. Corry's 17th-century Tasting Barn on the McGuane family farm. The gun dates back to the 1790s, a time of freedom fighting in Ireland showing that independent thinking has always been important. Very limited stock available in Australia NOSE: Fresh florals, rich almond, grapefruit zest, white chocolate, anise, a touch of milky coffee. PALATE: Lemon cheesecake with a few blueberries and raspberries thrown in for good measure, plus layers of toffee and mint. FINISH: Floral notes of jasmine and fresh grape
