Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Irish whiskey with the Fercullen Italian Gardens Blend Estate Series 2. This exquisite blend from the esteemed Powerscourt Distillery is the second release in their renowned ‘Estate Series’ – a tribute to the inspirational "Italian Gardens," the crown jewel of the world-renowned Powerscourt Gardens, recognised as the third best gardens globally by National Geographic.
This limited edition blend is a testament to Fercullen's commitment to crafting whiskies that reflect their rich environment and heritage. Influenced by Amarone cask, it offers a unique taste that connects you directly to the Powerscourt Estate. As you pour the Italian Gardens Blend Estate Series 2, you'll note its nose is a fragrant ensemble of cherry, fig, marmalade, and a sweet hint of lemonade and cream soda. This abundance of fruit sets the stage for the tasting experience to follow.
On the palate, this Fercullen release welcomes you with soft grain sweetness, elegantly complemented by a mouthful of honey and lemon, leading to a gentle hint of malt spice. The finish is enduring, leaving a pleasant coating of summer fruit oils that evoke memories of sun-drenched garden strolls. This is a whiskey that's not just tasted but experienced in every sense.
The Italian Gardens Blend Estate Series 2 can also be the star of a refreshing cocktail - the Fercullen Garden, combining the whiskey with grapefruit syrup and soda water. This blend, a perfect homage to its Italian Garden roots, is also a tasteful companion to Gorgonzola or an Irish Blue Cheese like Cashel Blue. Or even savour it alongside a main course, such as the Carpaccio of Irish Beef, for a truly delightful gastronomic journey.
