The finish is warming and on the short side. The sweeter elements fade, as do the coconut and vanilla notes, and this leaves the baking spices, biscuit and cereal characteristics to linger on. Again, a late pinch of white pepper rounds things off.

Before we play ‘guess the flavour’, here’s a list of the wood involved: we have the commonly used French and American oaks; the much more unusual Portuguese and Hungarian Oaks; and the some chestnut for good measure. As to the flavours, the last time we sipped it we think we detected spicey notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and something akin to incense; sweeter flavours of pastries, chocolate and cooked pineapple rings; and lots of wood. Polished wood, wood shavings, wet wood and charred wood. But as enjoyable as such guessing games can be, the key thing is that the overall taste is top quality.Belfast Distillery Company’s McConnell’s Irish Whisky 5 Years Old also took home a Gold medal after impressing with “super sharp, fresh green apples” on the nose and “white chocolate and pepper spices” on the palate. Further Golds went to The Irishman Harvest, Ha’Penny Four Cask, Jameson Crested, and Teeling Small Batch. Four Silvers were also awarded.
