Dublin Liberties Oak Devil, 46%

Price: 40 Issue: Spring 2017 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Irish Whiskey

This blend of double distilled single malt and grain has bourbon cask and American oak written all over it. The allure of spice, vanilla cream, cedar sticks, malt, cinnamon, and banana chips draws you in. Burning brown sugar sweetness and vanilla toffee meet the snappy acidity from orange, lime, and pineapple goaded by pepper and cardamom bystanders. Undoubtedly a great session whiskey, so throw away the cork.
