The Whistler Mosaic Marsala Cask Whiskey

The Whistler Mosaic Marsala Cask Whiskey is a small-batch single grain Irish whiskey from the Boann Distillery, the family-run distillery that bottles The Whistler range. It is first matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in Sicilian Marsala wine casks, a combination that adds richness and depth to the light, elegant grain spirit.

Bottled at 46% ABV, it opens with a lively nose of dry citrus peel, juicy orange and lime, with vanilla, chocolate and oak spice in the background. The palate brings warm toffee and hazelnut, followed by dry citrus, honey and stewed apricot. The finish is of medium length, with citrus zest, oak spice and honey. It is a wonderfully approachable yet intricate whiskey, best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water.
