The Fercullen Single Malt Irish Whiskey 1st Release is a remarkable example of authentic Irish whiskey, distinguished by its unique character and flavor profile achieved through triple distillation. With an inviting nose, it presents sweet aromas of toffee, cinnamon, cloves, speculaas spices, vanilla apples and pears, and soft leather. These aromas evolve on the palate into richer flavors of vanilla, soft oak, salted caramel, and Tarte Tatin. As the flavors develop, they reveal warm oak spices, leather, honeyed almonds, and a bounty of stewed fruit, providing a rich and satisfying experience.
The name "Fercullen" pays homage to the whiskey's origins, distilled at the Powerscourt Distillery, located in the historic Powerscourt Estate in the picturesque Wicklow Mountains of southeast Ireland. The distillery, which resides in one of the estate's historic buildings, has become a popular tourist destination and proudly presents its first self-distilled single malt whiskey.
The whiskey was first distilled in 2018, following the commencement of distillery construction in 2015. The initial spirit was distilled and aged in the finest casks, resulting in this exceptional single malt whiskey. Crafted from 100% malted barley, it was traditionally distilled and matured for several years in American bourbon casks. With a standard alcohol content of 46% ABV and no chill filtration, this high-quality product stands strong against both domestic and international competitors.
The aroma of Fercullen First Release Single Malt Whiskey is both captivating and potent, with a surprising complexity. Warming spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg are complemented by sweet notes of toffee, pears, and buttery baked goods. On the palate, it offers flavors of vanilla pudding, salted caramel, cookies, and toasted oak. Its pleasant sweetness is also evident in the long-lasting and multifaceted finish, featuring warm oak, leather, almonds, honey, and fruit compote.
