Two Stacks Irish Whiskey have released the next chapter of their Polaris Collection, a six-year-old Single Pot Still.
Polaris 1.2 has been aged in ex-bourbon casks for 4 years and 11 months before a final 14 months in a single 220 litre French Oak cask from Ontario- Canada. The cask was previously used to age Cabernet Franc Ice Wine.
Bottled at a cask strength of 58.25% and limited to only 300 bottles. Each bottle is hand labelled, wax-sealed, and stamped with the Polaris symbol.
Tasting Notes from Two Stacks:
Nose:
An Immediate arrival of maraschino cherries carries you through a sensory overload leading to soft chocolate notes, summer fruits, raisins, a hint of nutmeg, and sponge cake.
Palate:
Full of spice to start, the Pot Still DNA runs through the whiskey like a knife, wonderfully rich, sugar-glazed cinnamon buns, soft green apples, ripe strawberries, and cherries. The texture is creamy and full. A touch of chili oil dances gracefully with the sweet ice-wine influence. A merry-go-round of sugar and spice.
Finish:
An exquisite finish that continues long after the initial sip, delicate clove, more cinnamon, and a slight sprinkle of cocoa butter.
Available from the Two Stacks website, priced at €94.95 plus shipping.
