Flavour Highlights Juicy Raspberries Redcurrant Jelly Electric Apple Pie Rich Tea Biscuits Booze Soaked Sultanas Tasting Deepdive: This is a whiskey that leads with fruit. It opens with an immediate burst of bright red berries - juicy raspberries and redcurrant jelly - lifted by a fragrant sweetness that hints at orange blossom and honeyed dessert wine. Then comes the pastry: warm apple pie filling, flaky crust and the comforting sweetness of Rich Tea biscuits dunked in tea. The Moscatel cask brings a syrupy richness through the mid-palate, with booze-soaked sultanas, golden raisins and soft baking spice building gently. Despite the strength, the texture stays lively and bright- that classic Single Pot Still oiliness giving weight without heaviness. The finish lingers on spiced orchard fruit, biscuit sweetness and a warm glow of baking spice. Who is this for For drinkers who already love Irish whiskey and want something a little bolder. The Moscatel cask brings bright, dessert-like fruit, while the pot still mash bill adds spice and texture - making it a brilliant next step for fans of Redbreast and other full-bodied Irish styles.

Not just because they’re family-owned and independent like us, but because they’re helping revive what made Irish whiskey great in the first place. Single Pot Still is one of Ireland’s most distinctive whiskey styles — rich, spicy and full of texture thanks to the mix of malted and unmalted barley. Historically though, distillers often included grains like oats, wheat and rye. That tradition largely disappeared, but Boann are bringing those historic mash bills back. This particular whiskey is made from 40% malted barley, 55% unmalted barley, with small additions of oats and rye — grains that add creaminess, spice and complexity to the spirit. For this release, that distinctive spirit was matured entirely in a Moscatel de Setúbal cask from Portugal. Moscatel wines are intensely aromatic and honeyed, packed with citrus blossom and ripe fruit — and here they bring a vivid burst of red berries, pastry sweetness and warming spice to the whiskey.

The stout’s roasted creaminess balances the bright red fruit sweetness of the whiskey - a perfect sweet-and-dark pairing. Label Inspiration For #23, the label draws on the mythology of the Boyne Valley, where Boann Distillery sits beside the ancient monument of Newgrange - famous for its alignment with the rising winter solstice sun. The design imagines the moment where night meets day: a glowing sunrise on one side of the horizon, a silver crescent moon on the other, with constellations scattered across the sky. Hidden among the stars are subtle shapes of barley and pot stills — a celestial nod to the whiskey in the glass. Three Reasons to Buy this Bottle 1.
