A Scottish Blender's Irish Detour
Bank Note has always been A.D. Rattray's value pour — the honest, unpretentious blend the Perthshire bottler built its name on in Scotch. The Irish edition takes the same philosophy across the Irish Sea: sourced Irish malt and grain spirit, triple-distilled the Irish way, and rested five years in ex-bourbon oak. It never shipped outside the United States, which is why it flies under the radar next to the big Irish names. Among Irish whiskeys, it's the quiet bargain with a real age statement on the label.
Tasting Notes
Soft and approachable, exactly what a triple-distilled ex-bourbon blend should be — honeyed malt and vanilla custard on the nose, light orchard fruit and a wisp of cereal sweetness on the palate, with gentle oak spice building toward a clean, mellow finish. Nothing harsh, nothing shouty; an easy-drinking blend built for the everyday pour.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single cube for the full honeyed-malt character. Its mellow profile makes it a natural in an Irish coffee, a highball, or any whiskey cocktail that wants smooth rather than smoky.
