Portrait: What makes the Sailor's Home - Tradewinds 10 year old special

The innovative team at The Sailor's Home Company from Limerick, Ireland has given the brand's ingenious master mind, Dr. Jack O'Sé, once again given free rein and he went full steam ahead. His latest creation in the Island Series has the beautiful name “Tradewinds”, and is named after the trade winds that constantly blow in the Caribbean. 
The Sailor's Home - Tradewinds 10 Years, located inTrinidad & Tobago Spiced Rum casks finally matured truly lives up to the motto of Sailor's Home - “always heading for new shores”! Almost a crossover with a lot of Cask influence.

Matrued in former Bourbon Casks for at least 10 years, the lush Irish whiskey Sailor's Home - Tradewinds received a final maturation of 10 years in selected Trinidad & Tobago Spiced Rum Casks. These rum casks were originally sherry casks, which were mixed with Caribbean spices and the finest Indian tea with Trinidad & Tobago Rum were filled. The result is fascinatingly exotic and intense in taste.

Despite its 43%vol. “Tradewinds” comes without chill filtration and without coloring, for a full aroma and mouthfeel. And as a reminder - the lid on the bottle is made from recycled marine plastic and is equivalent to a PET bottle.
