Bill Phil is named after the founder’s great-grandfather William Philip O’Connell, a blacksmith from County Limerick. He was renowned for his hand-crafted turf-cutter known eponymously as the Bill Phil Sleán (pronounced shlawn). This whiskey is a throwback to traditional Irish whiskey from the days before coal came to Ireland. It’s sweet & smoky, with rich biscuit malt and citrus fruit flavors..
Aroma: Bergamot oil scented light peated smoke fills the senses. Distinctively fresh vibrant notes of cereal slowly emerge, carrying waves of poached pear, earl grey tea as the phenolic oils dissipate.
Taste: Clarified butter over crumbled biscuit with clean waves of lightly smoked malt, banana bread, sweet cassia & bergamot.
Finish: Fresh clementine oil, whispers of smoke, applewood chips & ripe orchard fruits
