Following the earlier, more widely seen Bannow Island & Ballykilcavan, Ballymorgan has also achieved a high score of 88 points from WF. For a new distillery with such a young age, this is a very good result.

P.S. Each bottle has a Terrior Code on the back of the box. Enter this code on their website for detailed information, such as the number of casks used (including cask type, capacity in liters, and filling date for each cask), yeast type, fermentation duration, soil type beneath the field, depth, and daily sunlight hours. You might not be interested in this obsessive data 😆

Official tasting for reference

Nose
Green apple, milk chocolate, malty, pears, dried fruits, rhubarb and custard – but with more custard than rhubarb.

Taste
Green apple coated in caramel, cloves, custard – a spicy tingle, with liquorice and mint chocolate.

Finish
A gentle heat lingers in your mouth and as it slowly fades- oiliness is left with a spicy chocolate.
