After blending, we rest the whiskey in a selection of bourbon, port and stouted rye casks to let the flavours marry.This whiskey takes its name from the velvet caps traditionally worn in point-to-point horse racing. This popular sport dates from 1752 when riders raced over fence and ditch between two points: St John’s Church Buttevant to St Mary’s Church Doneraile in Co Cork – from one steeple to another, hence the term steeplechase.On the nose expect candied banana, honey, dark stonefruit & almond leading way to a luscious mouthfeel with flavours of vanilla, plum, and agave.This is a whiskey to be readily enjoyed, as Peter Mulryan CEO of Blackwater Distillery says ‘Here we have always been whiskey drinkers, not collectors. The idea behind Velvet Cap was to create a whiskey to be savoured, not stashed away on a shelf”.
