The Busker Irish Whiskey just announced the launch of its latest addition to the family: The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still. This release marks a significant milestone for the brand, as it unveils its very first small batch offering, the distillery states.
“It’s with great excitement and pride that we reveal today The Busker Small Batch whiskey,” said the Master Blender team in a news release. “An exquisite example of single-pot whiskey perfection! Lavishly opulent flavors with a full-bodied and bold structure, powerful yet well-rounded. Selected at our discretion, the whiskey is matured in first-fill bourbon casks and then expertly finished in Oloroso sherry European oak butts.”
The First Small Batch of its Kind
Bottled at 46.3% ABV, this small batch offering is double-aged in Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks at the Royal Oak Distillery. The limited edition whiskey features leathery tobacco notes, soft lingering spice and autumnal fruits such as figs, sultanas, prunes and damsons, according to the distillery.
The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still received top honors ahead of its release. It won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the distillery states. It also scored 93 points and a “Great Value” award from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge as well as a Silver Medal at the World Whiskies Awards.
The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still is only the first of The Busker’s Small Batch releases and will soon be available for purchase at select retailers and through the brand’s online store at $49.99 for a 700-ml bottle.
