Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Twenty-one years is a meaningful number to put in someone's hands, and this single malt from Powerscourt Distillery in County Wicklow carries it with grace. It is the distillery's oldest expression, matured in bourbon barrels and finished with a selection of Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, then bottled at 46% without chill filtration and in its natural color. The nose opens delicately with canned peaches, lychee, honeydew and vanilla fudge before soft leather and red cranberry hint at the sherry. On the palate come raisin, almond, and dark chocolate with orange oil, plus a flicker of black pepper, closing on candied cherries and fruitcake. It suits the whiskey lover who sips slowly and notices detail: a mentor at retirement, a parent marking a milestone birthday, or a friend celebrating a hard-won promotion. They can pour it neat after dinner, add a few drops of water to coax out the fruit, and set dark chocolate or dried fruit alongside.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate with orange — The palate's dark chocolate and orange oil notes are echoed and deepened by a square of good dark chocolate.
- Dried fruits and fruitcake — Raisin, candied cherries and mixed peel in the whiskey mirror the sweetness of dried fruit and fruitcake.
- Retirement or milestone birthday — A 21-year single malt with layered sherried fruit and spice makes a considered gift for marking decades of achievement.
