- Description
- Connacht's Spade & Bushel spent 12 years in ex-bourbon casks before a 2-year Marsala wine finish from Sicily added sticky fruitcake sweetness and creamy vanilla. The bourbon foundation provides vanilla and caramel structure, while the Marsala introduces dried fruit and warming spice. The finish is rich and coating. This suits dessert-course drinking and those seeking Irish single malt with pronounced wine influence.
