Killowen Pangur Poitín PX Cask Rested

Pangur is a 50-50 marriage of two Irish Poitíns from two iconic distilleries, one big, one tiny, just across a lough from each other.
A superb spirit inspired by the old Irish poem “Pangur Bán”. Rested in PX wood casks, it’s full of character and fruity flavours. Bottled at 47%, it tastes great or over ice. Stone fruit comes straight to the fore with prominent prunes and unripen plums. There’s also the aniseed note from the non-wood rested release, but it’s more subtle and lends itself to more of a toasted cinnamon stick note. There’s a little smoke towards the end of the nose as well. The texture again is so opulent and inviting, more milk chocolate, but lots of spice comes through this time and gives off cinnamon sugar and some clove notes. More dried fruit again, sultanas and raisins. Some hints of vanilla too, almost like flat Vanilla Coke.
