The launch of newcomer Slane Irish Whiskey last month saw the unfolding of the latest chapter in the ongoing revival of the fortunes of Irish whiskey.
The crafty Boynesiders have succeeded in distilling a robust spirit already being praised for its complexity and smoothness.
Utilising a unique triple-cask process, initial notes of oak and spice are followed by a delicious, lingering finish, containing hints of dried fruits and caramelized wood sugars.
Based in the former stables in the historic grounds of Slane Castle, distillery tastings and tours can now be booked online via www.slaneirishwhiskey.com
