The Whistler Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Irish Whiskey
Blended Irish Whiskey | 750mL | 43% ABV (86 proof) | Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish — The Whistler Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish whiskey (malt + grain, triple distilled, non-chill filtered) from Boann Distillery in Ireland, matured in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in oloroso sherry casks. The sherry finish layers dried fruit, nougat, and walnut over the blend's creamy malt core — bottled at 43% ABV. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The Whistler is the flagship range from Boann Distillery, the family-owned distillery founded by Patrick Cooney — and this oloroso-finished edition was the range's first release. For Irish whiskey drinkers who find standard blends too light, the sherry-cask finish adds the weight and dried-fruit depth of a much older pour.
Tasting notes
Eye: rich gold. Nose: dry sherbet lemon, white grape, walnut, nougat, creamy raspberry, hints of tropical and dark fruits. Palate: bergamot orange, mouth-coating nougat, pear, coconut, banana, slight minerality. Finish: sweet and lingering with a dry wood prickle (pat's / irishmalts / flaviar consensus).
