Tácnbora Islay Cask Limited ReleaseAd Gefrin Tácnbora Islay Cask Blended Whisky

Product Details

A cask-strength limited release aged in specially selected reused Islay casks. 

This limited release gives Tácnbora Batch 01 a smokier, peated finish. It serves as a textural exploration of both the character of Tacnbora and Ad Gefrin's sense of place, reflecting on the relationship between the two.

Batch 01, the inaugural edition of the Tácnbora, combines Irish and Scottish Whiskies.

Details:

700ml

56.7% vol.

Tasting Notes:

The defining vanilla, honey and dried fruit notes that make Tacnbora are still present on the nose with the subtlest hint of smoke in the background along with new aromas of chocolate and spice. On the palate, again the sweetness of Tacnbora is still prevalent and is soon followed by a hit of campfire smoke, orange peel and cloves all supported by the warmth of the high alcohol content.

Nose: Vanilla, honey, orange peel, spices, campfire smoke  

Palate: Butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate, spice, bonfire smoke, oily

Finish: Sweet, oily finish, vanilla, toffee, pipe tobacco

Whisky Resource Note

Released on Friday 27th October 2023

Islay Cask Finish at 56.7% ABV and limited to 1629 bottles.

There is no statement about colour however this release is noticeably darker than the standard Tácnbora.
There is also no chill filtration statement, being at cask strength, we can assume it hasn't been filtered, however, the value score reflects a lack of statement.
