The Irishman Single Malt 12 Year

Tasting Notes:

  • Eye: Golden
  • Nose: From the exquisite aroma there is no mistaking the influence of the ex-Bourbon casks with the light sweet spicy notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and even a tincture of clove. All balanced with apples and pears, some charred wood and freshly cut hay
  • Taste: The initial sip is a burst of rich flavors, sweet with vanilla delicately bolstered by black peppercorns, reluctantly giving way to a succulent fruity mid-section before slowly fading to leave a very satisfying grassy cereal conclusion
  • Finish: The fullness of the body fades quite quickly but leaves behind a lingering succulent flavor of barely and oak. A touch of creamy dairy fudge and dark chocolate adds to the complexity

Additional Notes:

  • Gold Medal Winner and Best in Class at the International Spirits Challenge 2013
  • Aged for 12 years
  • Distilled at 43% ABV
