Award-winning Irish Whiskey expands its portfolio with its first small batch release, a new whiskey double aged in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Busker Irish Whiskey, renowned for its innovative approach to crafting exceptional Irish whiskey, is proud to announce the launch of its latest addition to the family: The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still. This release marks a significant milestone for the brand, as it unveils its very first small batch offering, expertly crafted to showcase the pinnacle of single-pot whiskey distilling.
"It's with great excitement and pride that we reveal today The Busker Small Batch whiskey," says the Master Blender team. "An exquisite example of single-pot whiskey perfection! Lavishly opulent flavors with a full-bodied and bold structure, powerful yet well-rounded. Selected at our discretion, the whiskey is matured in first-fill bourbon casks and then expertly finished in Oloroso sherry European oak butts."
Bottled at 46.3% ABV, this small batch offering is double-aged in Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks at the Royal Oak Distillery. The limited edition whiskey showcases aromatic complexity with leathery tobacco notes, soft lingering spice, and sumptuous autumnal fruits – figs, sultanas, prunes, and damsons, bound together with exquisite caramelized balsamic tones. Resinous notes of distinguished oak and fragrant sandalwood create an elegant, smooth finish.
The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still received top honors ahead of its release. It won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a testament to its exceptional quality. It also scored an impressive 93 points and a "Great Value" award from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, highlighting its great taste and affordability, and a Silver Medal at the World Whiskies Awards. This whiskey is sure to impress both whiskey connoisseurs and newcomers with its unique flavor, blending tradition and modern appeal. It's a standout in the world of fine spirits.
