About this bottle

This limited edition whiskey is the second in the Founder's Reserve Cask series following the Marsala Cask Finish released in 2017. The blended Irish whiskey consists of single pot still and single malt whiskey aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. It was then finished for six months in rum barrels which previously held Chairman's Reserve Rum from Saint Lucia Distillers in the Caribbean. A total of 12 rum casks were used yielding 380 bottles per cask. Bottled without chill-filtration at 46% ABV. Available as of July 2018 in seven international markets: Ireland, the US, Canada, Russia, Germany, France, and Holland.

Nose: sweet, vanilla, sour apple, pepper Taste: butterscotch, vanilla, candied apple, little spice (not a lot) chocolate. You definitely have some nice Irish notes from the blended Irish whiskey a little more complex for an Irish, much like the original founders reserve, but you do have a silky back end from the rum barrels. Great accompaniment for the already smooth Irish whiskey, having the end of rum cask really adds to it.

Jared Schraub 5.0

Fills the nose artificial banana Runts candy. Sweet and spicy on the palate. Upfront wave of pepper and toasted coconut, sliding down into a cooling mint.
