Product description
Dead Rabbit is a new (Spring 2018) super premium blended whiskey, a creation of the combined forces of Darryl McNally, Master Distiller of The Dublin Liberties Distillery, part of Quintessential Brands Group.
And the owners of the famous New York bar The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog, which has the largest collection of Irish whiskey in North America. The name Dead Rabbit recalls the Irish gang operating in New York in the 1880s. Its leader, Jim Morrissey, after ending his criminal activity became a congressman and later a senator from the Democratic party. The whiskey comes from undisclosed Irish distilleries and was aged for 5 years in bourbon barrels, and finished in small American oak barrels for several months.
Nose: sweet barley malt, vanilla, honey-roasted nuts, brown sugar, apricot bun, sweet spices and beautifully woven notes of oak.
Palate: mild, vanilla, crème brûlée, cappuccino, white pepper, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, roasted nuts and quite strong notes of oak.
Finish : quite long, with notes of vanilla, caramel, apples, candied lemon peel, white pepper and oak.
