- Description
- Boann Distillery's first blended malt marries bourbon-aged single malts with a minimum 10-month finishing period in 125-litre peated quarter casks, creating a hybrid character that sits between Ireland's typically unpeated traditions and Islay's smokier expressions. The peat influence emerges as campfire smoke and spice against the backdrop of orchard fruit and grain sweetness, with a textured, non-chill-filtered body that feels substantial on the palate. Bottled without artificial colouring, this blended malt suits those seeking gentle smoke and Irish craftsmanship in one glass.
