Method and Madness Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey – Finished in Chestnut Casks (700ml, 46% ABV)

Taste Notes: Method and Madness Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey finished in Chestnut Casks offers a unique aromatic profile combining the classic pot still spice with intriguing wood notes. Expect an aroma of sweet orchard fruits (green apple, pear), creamy vanilla, and a distinct nutty or woody character from the chestnut. Hints of baking spice, toasted wood, and a subtle herbaceousness may also be present. On the palate, it is smooth and rich, with a full mouthfeel. Flavors of pot still spice (cinnamon, ginger), sweet fruit, and a noticeable nuttiness (reminiscent of roasted chestnuts) emerge, balanced by notes of vanilla and light oak. The chestnut cask imparts a drier, more earthy, and savory wood influence compared to traditional oak. The finish is medium-long, warm, and complex, with lingering spice, a unique woody character, and a pleasant sweetness.

Food Pairings: This innovative whiskey pairs well with foods that can complement its unique nutty and spicy profile. Consider roasted pork tenderloin, grilled mushrooms, or dishes featuring chestnuts. It also complements medium-aged cheeses and desserts with nuts or mild chocolate. It's an excellent choice for those looking to explore unusual whiskey pairings.
