The Busker Single Pot Irish Whiskey

Produced at Royal Oak Distillery in County Carlow, Ireland, The Busker Single Pot Still is a traditional Irish pot still whiskey made from both malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Matured and finished in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, it combines the sweeter influence of American oak with darker, spicier sherry-cask character. Bottled at 44.3% ABV with no stated age, it offers a rich, approachable profile built around honey, caramel, vanilla, oak and warming spice.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork, glazed ham, mature cheddar, caramel desserts, apple tart, or dark chocolate with roasted nuts.

Tasting Notes: Golden to copper-amber in appearance, with a medium-bodied profile balancing sweet confectionery notes, oak, fruit and distinctive pot still spice.

Nose: Rich and inviting, with fresh floral aromas, honey and fudge accompanied by seasoned oak, clove and subtle fruit.

Palate: Rounded and warming, showing caramel, vanilla and toffee alongside almond, gentle fruit and a lively layer of peppery spice.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering vanilla, oak and peppery spice complemented by a touch of fruit sweetness.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped glass, over ice, or with a small splash of water to soften the spice and open the sweeter aromas.
