The Irish Finvara The King's Gambit is a triple-distilled blended whiskey made from malted and unmalted barley. The unnamed distillery is located in the historic Fort of Dealgan on the Castle Town River. The elaborately designed label on the bottle is adorned with a forest king, which is not only an allusion to the idyllic flora and fauna of the coastal region, but is also the king of the mystical realm of Daoine Sidhe from Irish folklore. In addition to whiskey, this king has a penchant for chess, hence the name of this new release.
You can even take part in a competition until 30 April 2026 and win great prizes such as an adventure trip to Ireland, PlayStation 5 or €20 experience discount for Jochen Schweizer! Simply scan the QR code on the bottle's tag and follow the instructions.

Geschmack: Man hat sofort eine wunderbare süße, gefolgt von Vanille, Karamell und Trockenfrüchten. Danach kommt eine angenehme Würze in Verbindung mit Eiche und zum Schluss eine feine Sherry Note. Im Abgang hat er zwar einen leichten metallischen Geschmack der für ein eher jüngeres Alter spricht, aber insgesamt ist es ein schöner weicher und unkomplizierter Whiskey der auch für Einsteiger geeignet ist.
Abgang: mittellang, würzig und fruchtig mit Sherry Note
