About
From the place where the grass is ‘a green’ like no other green in the world. A place, entombed in ice for thousands of years, and then sculpted by giant glaciers. And, today, if you are lucky enough to stand at the church door of St. Patricks, Barraniskey, at sunset, you will see just why Co. Wicklow is the called the Garden of Ireland. The Irish words “Barr an Uisce” literal English translation is “above the water”. It is also the Irish name given to Barraniskey, which is a town land set in the heart of the beautiful County of Wicklow, on the East Coast of Ireland. The Irish word “Uisce “ or “water” in English, was used during the time Irish monks first distilled what we now know to be whiskey. They called it “Uisce Beatha” meaning “Water of Life”. Known as the Garden of Ireland, Wicklow represents all that is stunning in Irish countryside.
Barr An Uisce 1803 10 Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey was aged for at least 10 years in first-fill bourbon barrels, and has a lustrous, warm, mid-gold color. Aromas of vanilla, white chocolate and caramel (creme brulee) on the palate. Spicy entry and then a broad, silky, creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate opens to reveal tropical fruits, cinnamon, ginger and a distinct maltiness. Long in the finish with hints of toasted oak.
