The [limited-edition whiskey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-single-malt) has 46% ABV and has been crafted with just two ingredients: spring water and Irish barley. The rich flavor that can be enjoyed with the whiskey is achieved thanks to an aging process that involves the aforementioned [Madeira casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/port-charlotte-syc01), which impart notes of vanilla, banana bread and even hazelnut. The Tyrconnell 15-Year-Old Madeira Cask Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey speaks to the growing international demand for premium spirits as more consumers feel more confident about exploring higher end options.
