Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
Blend of Irish malted barley and grain whiskies — exact percentages unpublished. The malt brings citrus, floral, and stone-fruit notes; grain softens the body. First-fill ex-bourbon casks add vanilla sweetness, butterscotch, and light char rather than heavy sherry influence.
