Killowen Pangur Poitín Stout 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.
Lovely, toasted wood initially on the nose with a hint of black liquorice. The aniseed remains but with a new note of spearmint. Equally as luscious, creamy and fulfilling. Chocolate fruit and nuts with toasted oak. Spicy vanilla custard with a cinnamon sugar dusting. Some light pepper too, but this is thoughtfully balanced and delightful. More warmth exudes from the finish. Again, quite subtle, but the spice gently fades to leave a tingling vanilla sensation.
