The Busker Irish Whiskey Experience 3x 20cl

This is the ultimate opportunity to get familiar with The Busker, a relatively young and emerging whiskey brand from Ireland. In this ‘Tasting Experience’, you will find three different whiskeys that are popular in Ireland:

• The Busker Irish Single Grain Whiskey 20cl

Single grain whiskey is made from a combination of grains (such as corn, wheat or barley), and in this case The Busker uses mainly corn for their single grain. This whiskey is distilled in a column distiller, which gives it a softer and lighter flavour. It often has a more subtle and smooth character compared to other Irish whiskies. You can expect flavours such as vanilla, honey, soft caramel and hints of oak.

• The Busker Irish Single Malt Whiskey 20cl

A single malt whiskey is made entirely from malted barley and is distilled in copper pot stills, yielding a richer flavour profile. For lovers of Irish malt whiskey, this is a classic choice. Expect complex flavours such as ripe fruit, spices, malt and sometimes a hint of chocolate or nuts. It often has a fuller body than grain whiskey.

• The Busker Irish Potstill Whiskey 20cl

This variety is unique to Ireland and is made from a blend of both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in copper pot stills. The process gives the whiskey a distinctive spicy and complex character. You can expect a rich palate with notes of spices, roasted grains, red berries and often a subtle creaminess. This whiskey has a slightly fuller and more powerful flavour experience than grain or malt whiskey.
