The Busker Irish Whiskey has launched an exclusive limited edition Single Cask Pot Still whiskey, the first in a series of exclusive bottlings for The Irish Whiskey Collection in partnership with Aer Rianta International (ARI).
Carefully crafted at the Royal Oak Distillery in Co.Carlow, this exclusive whiskey has been created from hand-selected casks, specifically chosen by the Master Blending team to produce a limited edition run of 450 bottles that are available to purchase exclusively from The Irish Whiskey Collection at The Loop, Dublin, and Cork Airports.
The limited edition The Busker Single Cask Pot Still Whiskey encapsulates all that is Irish potstill whiskey. Chosen from the finest casks of Pot Still available from the bond of Royal Oak Distillery, and aged in a formidable Sherry Cask over 6 years, the unique process allows the bold and spicy quintessential nature of the Pot Still to stand out, while accompanied with leathery dried fruit richness. Bolstered with a depth of prune, date and fig notes, this is followed by a balanced sweetness of honey, mellow vanilla, and fudge accompanied by a balanced long finish of spices warmth.
Woody Kane, Global Brand Ambassador of The Busker Irish Whiskey, commented on the exclusive launch, “We are delighted to partner with Aer Rianta International (ARI) on this exclusive bottling for The Irish Whiskey Collection. From the early days, ARI and its The Irish Whiskey Collection, have been a strong stand-out advocate in the Irish whiskey market. Throughout the rebuilding of the category, they have been one of the biggest supporters allowing the world to see what Irish Whiskey has to offer. We are excited to be able to showcase our spirit and have the quality of The Busker Irish Whiskey associated with The Irish Whiskey Collection at ARI. It is an honour to be able to create this very special release exclusively for them.”
