Lough Gill Athrú Keshcorran 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Athrú · Lough Gill Distillery
Athrú's Keshcorran bottling, named for the caves of County Sligo, showcases what careful cask management can achieve with well-aged Irish malt. The 14 years of maturation deliver complexity without weight, and the non-chill-filtered bottling at 46% preserves texture and nuance. A contemplative whiskey for contemplative evenings.
Nose
Dried fig, dark toffee, and beeswax honey lead, followed by warm clove spice and a delicate thread of orange zest. A faint earthy note lingers beneath.
Palate
Full-bodied and layered, with cocoa, toasted hazelnut, and dried apricot. The sherry influence is present but measured, lending depth without overwhelming the malt character. Creamy mouthfeel with gentle woody tannins.
Finish
Long and warming, with cocoa, dried fruit, and a lingering earthy sweetness that slowly recedes.
