The unveiling of The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still marks a momentous occasion for aficionados of fine Irish whiskey, as the illustrious brand introduces its inaugural small-batch offering, a testament to its dedication to the art of whiskey distillation.
With palpable enthusiasm, the Master Blender team at Busker heralds the arrival of this exquisite libation, heralding it as a paragon of single-pot whiskey perfection. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this small batch expression undergoes a journey of maturation like no other. Initially aged in first-fill bourbon casks, it is then bestowed with a finishing touch of refinement within Oloroso sherry European oak butts, a process that bestows upon it an unparalleled depth of flavor and character.
At the heart of this remarkable whiskey lies a symphony of flavors that tantalize the palate. Bottled at a robust 46.3% ABV, its double aging process at the esteemed Royal Oak Distillery imbues it with a complexity that is truly enchanting. From the alluring aroma of leathery tobacco to the delicate interplay of spices that linger softly, each sip unfolds to reveal a tapestry of autumnal fruits – figs, sultanas, prunes, and damsons – harmoniously melded with notes of caramelized balsamic, culminating in a finish adorned with the distinguished essence of oak and fragrant sandalwood.
Even before its official release, The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still has garnered accolades of the highest order. Its gold medal triumph at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition stands as a testament to its unrivaled quality, while its impressive score of 93 points and the esteemed "Great Value" award bestowed upon it by the Ultimate Spirits Challenge underscore its exceptional taste and affordability. Adding to its accolades is a prestigious Silver Medal at the World Whiskies Awards, solidifying its status as a true connoisseur's choice.
As anticipation mounts, enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to acquire this masterpiece of whiskey craftsmanship. Priced at $49.99 for a 700ml bottle, The Busker Small Batch Single Pot Still will soon grace the shelves of select retailers and the virtual aisles of the brand's online store. It's not merely a whiskey; it's a testament to tradition, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in the world of spirits.
