The Whistler 7 Year Old The Blue Note (46%)

The Blue Note is the flagship of Boann, an Irish single malt aged 7 years and bottled at 46%. It spent its first five years in Bourbon barrels and a further two in first fill Sherry hogsheads, which gave it notes of dark dried fruit. It is non-chill-filtered, has no added caramel colouring and has won gold at the World Whisky Awards. The nose is sweet, with citrus, creamy salted caramel, blackcurrant and dark fruit. In the mouth there is more sweetness from the long time in sherry casks. The finish is long and lasting, with citrus and a pleasant note of the cask.
