163. Macaloney Island Distillery Kildara On the nose, rich aromas of vanilla crème and warm cinnamon meld with dried fruits like apricot and figs, alongside hints of ripe blackberries. There’s a pleasant balance of dark molasses and roasted nuts, underpinned by the influence of oloroso and PX casks, bringing out subtle notes of old leather and a faint whisper of coastal breeze. The palate offers a velvety richness, brimming with stewed plums, blackcurrant, and sultanas, complemented by soft oak spices. A touch of dark chocolate and orange zest adds a layer of indulgence.

164. Macaloney Island Distillery Virgin American Oak Special Release #1 The nose opens with the warm aroma of freshly baked brioche, intertwined with sweet banana drizzled in treacle. Tropical hints of papaya add depth, while a splash of water brings out vibrant pineapple. Beneath these fruit-forward notes, the virgin oak influence reveals itself through the scent of ponderosa pine, reminiscent of a damp, coastal forest in British Columbia after a fresh rainfall. On the palate, sweet layers of creamy toffee and rich butterscotch take the lead, followed by a soft nuttiness from delicate almond.
