Product Information

The Busker Single Grain takes grain whiskey and ages it in bourbon casks and Marsala casks. Once finished, they are blended together. The Busker Single Pot Still Grain Irish Whiskey must contain malted barley, but no more than 30% of it can be malted barley. The rest of the mash bill can be made up of whole unmalted cereals. This must be distilled in column stills and have a flavor that reflects the ingredients and distillation method. All three styles must be aged a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. Blended Irish Whiskey is a blend of two or more of the above three styles. Nose: Alcohol and grain at first inspection. While the ethanol continues to be present in the nose there are hints of dried fruits including pineapple, candied orange, and golden raisin.

Nose: Smells of lemon and barley initially. Hints of scones and Luxardo cherries underlie those initial scents. The Busker has at least one unusual element in its arsenal: It’s hitting the market with four variants, all built around styles of production: Single Grain, Single Malt, Single Pot Still (formerly known as Pure Pot Still), and a blend of all three. The whiskeys are distilled at Ireland’s Royal Oak Distillery.

We received all four varieties for review — none have age statements, but we do have a bit of cask type information — so let’s dig in. The Busker isn’t just a guy that plays guitar on the street.

It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.

We’ll be tasting all of these components over the course of the week, but right now we’re tasting the sum of all the parts. So let’s get to it. The Busker has four selections of whiskey in it’s collection, and each represents one of the four legal whiskeys produced in Ireland. Those include malt, grain, pot still, and blended whiskeys. While I’ve only had the privilege to enjoy the single malt, I am excited to try the others. FAQ The full name of this Busker whiskey is the Triple Cask Triple Smooth which is a reference to the three types of whiskey in the blend and the three types of casks used. The whiskeys inside are a the Busker grain whiskey, Busker single malt and the Busker single pot still which have been aged in a mix of ex-Bourbon, ex-Marsala and ex-Sherry casks. Appearance: Very clear golden honey in color, it forms a thin ring on the glass with tears that are slow to form and slower to fall. As you guessed it, single still refers to the fact that this whiskey was made at a single distillery. However, Irish (and Scotch) malt whiskey uses 100% malted barley in it’s mashbill. Malt whiskey also also must be distilled in pot stills. While it’s not as efficient as using column stills, it allows for more character and slight differences between batches.We’re going to cover the four whiskeys that The Busker Irish Whiskey produces, and go over a full review of their single malt whiskey. We’ll discuss the price, tasting notes, distillation, and how it compares to other Irish whiskeys we’ve reviewed. The Busker Irish Whiskey History Aroma is a warm and fruity delivery layered with earthier and maltier notes that give this an inviting profile; Palate is a heavier, maltier, darker delivery of similar profiles to the aroma, with a sweetness that’s more subtle, but more complex; Finish is the only place oak really shows up and it’s a welcome note to end on.
