Two Stacks Smoke and Mirrors Peated Stout Single Malt 700ml
The Two Stacks story continues with the release of a unique whiskey rich in peated malt. Smoke & Mirrors is the result of a multi-year collaboration with artisan Irish producers – bringing together the experience and expertise of Ireland’s top brewers & distillers into one high-end premium product.
Drawing on an Irish whiskey heritage dating back to the 1800s, Smoke & Mirrors is 30% peated malt – peating being the focal point of a whiskey brimming with flavour yet soft and joyful on the palate. To achieve this, Smoke & Mirrors derives its silky texture from 10% double malt, 30% peated malt and 60% of what we like to refer to as ‘’stout’’ malt. The liquid was distilled and aged at Great Northern Distillery before being hand bottled at Killowen Distillery county down.
Tasting Note
Nose: an engaging nose, a fresh summers day of honeydew, sweet barely, rhubarb, peach skin all layered in sticky toffee, encased in subtle peat notes
Palate: a soft yet intense mouthfeel, an almost honey-like sweetness from the peat but not overpowering, white fruit richness lunging from the depths.
Finish: a medium finish of white chocolate, peppered clove, almond with a lingering touch of spice
