Natterjack Irish Whiskey is a promising first release from Gortinore Distillers & Co. It's a whiskey that's both traditional and modern, with a unique character that's sure to win over whiskey drinkers looking for something new and exciting. The name "Natterjack" comes from a rare species of toad found in Ireland, which is a fitting name for a unique and innovative whiskey.
Natterjack Irish Whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskeys that have been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. The resulting whiskey is complex and flavorful, with notes of vanilla, honey, and dried fruits, along with a subtle spiciness and a touch of oak. One thing that sets Natterjack apart from other Irish whiskeys is the fact that it's bottled at a higher proof than most, at 46% ABV. This gives the whiskey a bit more punch and allows the flavors to really shine through.
We really liked this dram and found it unique and special. This is a must try for any whiskey afficianado trying to think outside the box. Sláinte!
