Hibernicus Blended Malt Whisk(e)y

The Oceanus Hibernicus Blended Malt Whisk(e)y is an unusual cross-border blend composed entirely of malt whiskies from Ireland and Scotland. Its Scottish components are drawn from Highland, Speyside, Lowland, and Islay, bringing together a broad spectrum of Scotch malt character, while Irish malt contributes additional fruit and sweetness. The label describes the concept as combining the delicate character of Scotch malt whisky with the sweetness of Irish malt whiskey, and the finished blend is bottled at 43% ABV with no age statement.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Gentle aromas of treacle, vanilla, sweet malt, light wood, and fruit are joined by subtle floral character and a faint trace of smoke.

Palate: Soft and approachable with citrus, mango, honeyed sweetness, vanilla, orchard and tropical fruit, caramel, and a restrained layer of dry peat smoke.

Finish: Smooth and gently smoky with lingering sweet malt, vanilla, fruit, and a dry wisp of peat that gradually outlasts the initial sweetness.
