The 2018 vintage is the eighth annual release of the super-premium whiskey. It is limited to 5,175 individually numbered bottles, signed by Walsh Whiskey Founder and Chief Executive Bernard Walsh.

The liquid is a rare vatting of aged single pot still and single malt whiskey, triple distilled, natural non-chill filtered, aged in bourbon barrels and bottled at 53% abv.

The packaging depicts the main features of Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s Royal Oak estate including the distillery, the River Barrow and Holloden House which was built in 1755

The packaging of the 2018 vintage has a variation on the design introduced last year, featuring an illustration by Irish artist Linda Byrne. Set against a redbrick backdrop, the illustration depicts the whiskey distilling process from field-to-bottle, among the main features of Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s Royal Oak estate.

Walsh Whiskey Distillery Founder and Chief Executive Bernard Walsh said: “This whiskey displays a complex nose of toasted cereal, almond oils, creamy chocolate and sweet floral notes. On the palate it reveals wild honey, summer fruits and fresh ginger all underpinned by a spicy single pot still base. It has a delicate, warm and lingering finish. I hope the lucky few who acquire this year’s release enjoy every moment.”
