Macaloney’s An Loy Single Malt Whisky

Macaloney’s An Loy Single Malt Whisky, NAS, 46 %

“An Loy, formerly known as Glenloy, is our ‘Whiskymaker’s Signature Selection’ whereby we carefully selected our classic single malt whisky from a combination of 60% first use Bourbon casks for a delicate, clean presentation, 15% from Dr. Swans wonderful Portuguese STR red-wine barriques for pronounced oak and sweet red-berry contribution, and 15% Oloroso / 10% PX Spanish Sherry casks for wonderful, rich and delicate fruit cake and plums. Together they compliment the tropical fruits and creamy presentation of our new-make house style (which garnered a Gold Medal at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards) to create the following tasting notes for this, our inaugural release whisky:”

The Macaloney’s An Loy Single Malt Whisky is available to buy from the distillery at CAN $ 105.

Nose: Light and delicate swirls of sweet orchard fruits, honey, toasted oak, and perfectly toasted marshmallows. Over time, a soft maltiness emerges.

Taste: Medium-bodied with a spicy and fairly assertive palate. A balanced mix of spiciness, fruitiness, caramel, and ice cream notes, complemented by oranges and milk chocolate.

Finish: Medium-long, with maltiness becoming more prominent. Notes of chocolate, red berries, and orange marmalade round out the experience.

Comment: Sweetness me!
