Portrait: What makes The Whistler Dark Symphony special
The Whistler Dark Symphony is an Irish Blended A whiskey that stands out for its special maturation and sonorous name. It is produced by the Boann Distillery, an independent distillery in eastern Ireland, near Drogheda, passionately dedicated to reinterpreting Irish whiskey tradition. Boann stands for modern technology, high-quality raw materials, and a clear vision: to redefine Irish whiskey with depth, character, and creative cask combinations. The Dark Symphony is a triple-distilled blend of malt and grain whiskeys, which ensures its typically Irish smoothness. Its distinctive feature lies in its careful cask maturation: After initial maturation in first-fill bourbon casks, the whiskey is finished in a combination of Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximénez casks. This cask selection lends the whiskey depth, structure, and a complex, harmonious character - in the spirit of a "dark symphony."
As part of the Whistler series, the Dark Symphony embodies Boann's brand essence: quality, innovation, and a touch of poetry. The name alludes to the musical and aromatic complexity reflected in each bottle - a whiskey with sophistication and narrative power.
Tasting Notes: This is how The Whistler Dark Symphony tastes like
- Nose: complex and inviting with dark dried fruits such as figs and raisins, accompanied by toasted oak, mocha, and a hint of spicy leather. In the background, roasted nuts, vanilla, and a subtle hint of dark chocolate emerge. The sherry casks leave a distinctly winey, warm impression
- Palate: soft and full-bodied on the palate with notes of plum compote, toffee and roasted malt - the combination of Oloroso and PX casks brings a harmonious sweetness, balanced by spicy oak, nutmeg and coffee - a subtle dryness in the middle provides structure and depth
- Finish: medium to long with a warming, slightly spicy finish - notes of dark chocolate, oak and dark berries remain - the finish is round, elegant and slightly autumnal - like a dark, well-balanced Symphony
