ABK6 Grande Champagne VSOP

TASTING NOTES

The amber color proves at first glance the balance and smoothness of Amaro Nonino. On the nose and palate, harmony is confirmed by an extraordinary touch of herbs and citrus notes.

Serve at room temperature, on ice with a slice of orange, or in a cocktail.

Creation #6 can be described in two words: RUM + RAISIN. Our sixth Creation marries Pedro Ximénez casks and Jamaican rum casks with our smoky spirit resulting in flavours of toasted Jamaica ginger cake, Bonfire Toffee, spiced plum jam, Amaretto cherries and Daim bar.

To make this extraordinary gin, Glendalough forage wild botanicals in the Wicklow mountains all year round. Geraldine Kavanagh, our full time forager, brings the wild, fresh botanicals to the distillery within hours of foraging where small-batch slow-distillation is used to tease out the delicate botanical flavours. Glendalough Wild Botanical Irish Gin serves the taste of 'a year in every bottle' and perfectly captures a place in time, with four seasons of foraging in wild Wicklow encapsulated in each bottle.

The Kurayoshi Pure Malt is aged for over 3 years in oak casks. It has a soft and refreshing fragrance of malted barley complimented by sweet and tart notes of rum raisins, malt and vanilla. The light finish is a reminder of Tottori’s pure spring water used during distillation.

Old Pulteney Flotilla 2012 is a Highlands whisky aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks. Over the years, the casks have gently absorbed all the sea breeze from the North of Scotland, giving the whisky its sweet and complex flavors and its coastal characteristics. It is not surprising that Old Pulteney is known as the "maritime malt".

TASTING NOTES: NOSE: A bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, enhanced by indulgent notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. A subtle hint of cinnamon and candied red fruits adds elegant depth. PALATE: The opening reveals flavors of blackberries, currants, and plums intertwining harmoniously. Gradually, soft spices emerge, accompanied by a textured richness. FINISH: Long and creamy, with a raspberry sweetness.
