ISLE OF LEÒMHANN
SINGLE MALT WHISKY – AGED 9 YEARS
INAUGURAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION
Singapore Exclusive (419 Bottles Worldwide)
Elegant and complex single cask, single malt whisky, matured in hand-picked oloroso sherry casks, resulting into a powerful whisky that exudes class and sophistication. Retaining freshness and fragrance through a long fermentation and low distilling to maximize copper retention, its thick texture allows a slow sweet oak spiced palate, and a long light fruity and warm finish going down. Overall, Spicy, fresh and invigorating.
Note: Leave it for 10 minutes and come back to it to find the sweeter notes taking a step back to give room for even more spices and wood. A drop of water and the floral notes liven up, with clear nutty touches as well.
Pair with stir-fried vegetables, salmon, roast or char sin pork, curries, grilled steak blue cheese, dark chocolate, chocolate soufflé and Christmas pudding.

NOSE |
Fresh and fruity with aromas of banana, plum, apple, honey and cut hay, joined by some salty/ozone, spicy notes of Cayenne pepper, lemongrass, ginger and clove. Equal lot of vanilla leading the way with a creamy sensation, some honey, but also earthy, almost tobacco notes coming through, which open up further to a more floral-grassy note. Read More |

FINISH |
Full, long and warm finish as the spices linger on – salt, candied fruits, vanilla, praline and herbs. After adding water the wood pops up again, and the spices become softer, more gentle if you will. Read More |
