Sailor's Home 10 Year Old Caravell Martinique Rum Cask Finish (70cl, 46%)

This is a blend of Irish grain and Irish single malt whiskeys, both 10 years old, bottled by The Sailor's Home for its Island Series at 46% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The brand is named after a seamen's mission built in Limerick in 1856 by the city and local merchant families. The blend spent 10 years in American bourbon casks before a finish in Martinique rum casks. The nose shows tropical fruit such as sweet pineapple, with cut grass and brown sugar. The palate is creamy and full, with blood orange, plenty of caramel, a little liquorice and notes of sugar cane. The finish is long and fruity-sweet, with vanilla and candied banana.
