Description
The Wild Geese 4th Centennial Limited Edition is an exceptional blended Irish whisky, 43 per cent ABV, in a 0.7-litre bottle, presented in a high-quality gift box. This limited special edition was created to mark the 400th anniversary of the exodus of the ‘Wild Geese’ and pays tribute to the Irish soldiers and refugees who were forced to leave their homeland and left their mark across the globe. Through its whiskies, The Wild Geese brand honours the courage, hope and lasting influence of the Irish diaspora. The 4th Centennial Limited Edition forms part of the internationally acclaimed The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey Collection, which has already won numerous ‘Best Irish Whiskey’ awards. What makes this bottling special is the addition of 1 per cent peated Irish single malt, which creates an exceptionally complex yet harmoniously rounded bouquet. A particularly long distillation process also gives the whisky its characteristically smooth and elegant style. Whisky expert Jim Murray awarded this bottling an outstanding 93 out of 100 points in his Whisky Bible, describing it as “simply stunning”.
The Wild Geese 4th Centennial Limited Edition combines classic Irish smoothness with subtle smoky notes and remarkable depth. Fruity notes, vanilla and honey blend with gentle spices, toasted oak and the subtle influence of the peated single malt. The subtle smokiness complements the sweet malt notes without overpowering the whisky’s elegant character. The result is a well-balanced premium Irish whisky with a long and harmonious finish that delights connoisseurs and newcomers alike, and impressively reflects the history of the Wild Geese.
