  The Busker 80 proof Triple Cask Triple Smooth Irish Whiskey 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865463-10-27

  A street musician doesn't need a stage. One corner, one instrument and something to say will do. Royal Oak in Carlow borrowed that attitude for its blend, and three kinds of cask do the rest.

  Expert's Description

  The Busker 80 proof Triple Cask Triple Smooth is a Blended Irish Whiskey matured in bourbon casks, Marsala casks and sherry casks and bottled at 40%.

  It blends Single Grain, Single Malt and Single Pot Still Whiskey, with a generous share of malt and pot still. All three are distilled and matured at Royal Oak. The grain has rested in bourbon and Marsala casks, while the malt and pot still have spent time in bourbon and sherry casks. The Marsala is the odd one out. The group behind Royal Oak also owns Cantine Florio, a Marsala house in Sicily, so the casks are never far away. The Busker launched in September 2020 alongside the rest of the range. Triple Cask Triple Smooth is the blend, and it is built to be easy drinking rather than difficult for the sake of it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Tropical fruit from the first second, mostly ripe mango and passion fruit. Vanilla from the bourbon casks sits behind it, with a hint of cinnamon.

  Palate

  Soft and malty with apricot and mango, then dark chocolate. Vanilla fudge and cinnamon follow, and a dry, nutty woodiness underneath stops the sweetness from running away.

  Finish

  Round and gently sweet, not especially long. Fudge, nutty barley and a touch of clove.

  Did you know?

  Royal Oak exists because Augusto Reina, head of Illva Saronno, wanted a whiskey to stand next to his family's Disaronno in a Godfather. The cocktail is two ingredients: whisky and amaretto. The result was an entire distillery.
