Celtic Nations Celtic Blended Malt (70cl, 46%)

This Whisky is a collaboration between two Celtic nations of Scotland and Ireland, the Irish Cooley Distillery and the Islay Scottish Bruichladdich Distillery. Bottled in 2006 as a limited edition with the hope of making this sort of multi national blending a new ‘type’ of whisky. But unfortunately the SWA was not too keen on this idea and had banned it. So that leaves this little experiment unique and discontinued, a special place in a whisky collection. If thou, you do decide to drink it this is what you would expect to find, The nose is sweet and creamy as if it were a liqueur with apple and plum undertone, the palate is herbal, liquorice, honey and just a hint of smoke with a medium finish, nutty slightly smokey.
