bottled in 1894. A glorious honeyed sweetness and dry, peppery
spice.

Black Bush Irish whiskey: An excellent whiskey,
a good portion of which is matured in Oloroso sherry casks.
Malty and nutty sherry notes lead to a pleasant, sweet palate.
Red
Breast 12-Year-Old Pure Pot Still Irish whiskey: Aged in sherry
and bourbon casks, this is a delightful, unblended whiskey,
full-flavoured, but not overpowering.

with heather, floral notes and oak on the nose and peat and
honey in the full-flavoured palate.
Jamieson
Limited Reserve 18-Year-Old, $104.99: Only the best casks
are used to make this deluxe whiskey, which is aged in sherry
casks for a minimum of 18 years. Sherry, spice and toffee
on the nose with a mellow, smooth palate with complex notes
of fudge, wood, leather, a sherry nuttiness and vanilla.

Fun, and please drink responsibly.
