Tasting notes
PRE-ORDER ONLY. At the convergence of art and whiskey, sits The Aodh. With an ultra-rare, one-off release of just 88 bottles, this exceptional, triple-distilled Single Malt, is to only ever be enjoyed by the elite. The purchase of The Aodh will grant you membership into The Craft Circle, an exclusive club where you can enjoy once in a lifetime experience amongst a host of other privileges. Drawn from two small, custom-built Sherry Oloroso casks, The Aodh’s rich, almost spellbinding depth is the result of an unparalleled two years spent in these finishing barrels. Nose: A rich mahogany in colour, The Aodh captivates with a tantalising aroma of honeycomb and salted caramel ice cream on the nose, balanced with a hint of new cowhide, candied apple and orange peel. Palate: A silken touch from the first sip, with no ethanol burn to detract from the rich layers of flavour. An explosion of Vermont maple syrup on the front palate flows into the mid palate, where notes of leather and Belgian chocolate melt into a complex burst of dried fruit and warm spices on the back palate and a long, deep finish. Mouthfeel: A seductive silkiness reminiscent of a fortified wine develops into a decadent creaminess on the back palate and delivers a perfect warmth to the chest. With only 88 bottles of this ultra-rare whiskey in existence, The Aodh is too precious to be entered into tasting awards. While taste may remain reserved for just a small minority, the design of The Aodh is one that can be admired by all and the judges have already taken notice. In 2022, it won The A’Design Awards, taking a limited edition award placed it amongst just 35 designs in the award’s entire history and secured its place in the record books. An undeniable triumph of design perfection and rare, expertly crafted whiskey, The Aodh is a never-to-be-repeated single malt of trailblazing character. From the innovative touch sensor lock to the elegant claws that unfurl to release their prize, this is an exclusive whiskey unlike any other spirit in existence. That innovative, rare distinction continues to the liquid; an ultra-rare single malt that embodies the skilled craftsmanship and groundbreaking methods of Craft Irish Whiskey.
