The Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larderdie in Killarney, Co. Kerry is not one of those typical old Irish pubs, but if you are a whiskey lover, you’ll have found heaven! Especially if you want to try something different that is not sold in most pubs. Many are 20 or more years old and if you like what you sample, you can even buy a bottle then and there.
My Pick of the Day is Teeling 30 Year Old. This Whiskey Limited Edition from 500 bottles. The Teeling 30-Year-Old Vintage Reserve bottling was initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks before being further matured in ex-White burgundy casks.
Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose A big fruity hit with aromas of ripe apricots, honey, quince jelly, lychee, Muscat grapes, apple turnover, cinnamon buns, yeasty fruit bread, clove, and orange. Amazing complexity.
Palate Rich and mouth-filling with a waxy and oily texture. Some oak tannins add more texture and chewiness. Flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, honey, sultanas, pineapple, dried apricots, citrus peel, and honey.
Finish Very long with some white wine notes and tropical fruit persisting until the end.
Colour Bright gold.
