Infos über einen neuen irischen Whiskey haben uns am Samstag in der Redaktion erreicht: „The Clash of the Ash“ von Thomond Gate Limerick Whiskey – ein gesourcter Whisky aus der Great Northern Distillery wurde mit 49% vol. Alkoholstärke abgefüllt und durfte zuvor sechs Jahre in Bourbon Casks reifen, bevor er ein Finish in Imperial stout und Amarone casks erhielt.
Der Name der Abfüllung bezieht sich nicht auf Asche und Rauch im Whisky, sondern der Whisky ist eine „lebendige Ode an Limericks vier aufeinanderfolgende Hurling-Siege“ – „clash of the ash“ ist dabei ein Begriff aus de Sportwelt rund um das Hurling – Ash meint nicht Asche, sondern die Esche.
1350 Flaschen wurden abgefüllt, erhältlich ist er in irischen Spezialitätengeschäften und online bei irishmalts.com und The Celtic Whisky Shop. Kostenpunkt, jeweils 85 Euro plus Porto und Verpackung.
Hier die offizielle Info dazu, inklusive der Tasting Notes:
