Description

Slane Distillery sits on the grounds of Slane Castle in Ireland's Boyne Valley, and this whiskey carries the name of the village around it. Grain and malt whiskies are triple distilled, then matured separately in three cask types — virgin oak, seasoned oak and Oloroso sherry — before being married together. That 'Triple Casked' approach is what gives the blend its layered character and smooth finish, bottled here at 45% ABV in a 750 ml special edition marking 40 years with The Legacy of 81.

In the glass it shows golden topaz with toffee-toned highlights. The first impression is spicy, turning sweet with caramel, vanilla and butterscotch over a base of dried fruit, and the finish holds onto dry fruit and caramelized sugar. It's a whiskey made in tribute to the people of Slane and to anyone building a legacy of their own.

    A warm, golden topaz with hues of rich toffee. Spicy at first but quickly sweetened with rich caramel, vanilla and butterscotch atop a deep layer of dried fruit. Lingering hints of dry fruit and caramelized sugar.

    About Slane

    Slane's story links old and new: the Boyne Valley's fertile ground and pure water once drew several Irish distilleries, and that heritage has been brought back to life by the Conyngham family of Slane together with 147 years of whiskey-making know-how from Kentucky's Brown family.
