Lockes 8 Year Old Single Malt 70Cl Bottle

Named after one of the previous owners of the Old Kilbeggan Distillery, Locke's 8 Year Old Single Malt is a combination of Cooley's finest Single Malts in a special bottling to celebrate one of the famous names in Irish whiskey history. John Locke was at the forefront of the Irish whiskey industry during the golden years and we believe this bottling of Single Malt does his name proud. The combination of predominately Non-Peated Malt with a little Peated Malt results in a beautiful crafted Single Malt that gives this whiskey an amazing range of tastes with honey, oak, fruit and peat all present. Locke's 8 Year Old has limited distribution outside of Ireland. This celebration of Irish whiskey's glory years has recently been awarded both a gold medal & best in class at the IWSC 2009. Nose: Full flavoured nose bulging with big fruit-barley character. Oaky traces from the oldest of Cooley's malts. Taste: The barley is big and succulent. There is a copper-tanginess followed by a dry fruity flavour. Finish: The malt is nothing short of enormous & with a tanginess character. The minimum 8 year old oak passes leaving a vanilla essence and peaty finish. Serving Suggestions: Locke's 8 Year old Single Malt can be served neat, on the rocks, or with a little water to taste. A very enjoyable dram to be enjoyed after lunch.
