Description
Quercus Robur, the common oak of continental Europe, supplies the casks for this chapter of The Crolly's Coillín Darach Oak Series, an experiment that bottles the same young Donegal single malt from different oak species. The distillery started up in 2020 in the old doll factory at Crolly, a small pot still operation in the Gaeltacht of north west Donegal, and this edition was bottled for the European market.
Virgin European oak is a forceful partner, and here it loads toasted spice, clove and fresh sawn wood onto malt that is still young and cereal bright, showing the apple and white pepper of the house style beneath the oak. Bottled at 46%, it sits at the darker, spicier end of the series, a study in how much tannin and toast Robur brings compared with its American cousin.
