J.J. Corry The Hanson, 46%

Price: 55 Issue: Fall 2020 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Irish Whiskey

Clean, pure, clinical aromas of a boutique, with light lemon fondant, vanilla, and basil leaves. Icing sugar, lemon, almonds, and sweet rose-scented Turkish delight flavors develop into butterscotch, peppercorn, ginger, fudge, and banana, rounded off with ripe fruits, melted butter, dried apple, sherbet, raspberry taffy, and raspberry bubble gum. Named after the exciseman that proposed to J.J. Corry's daughter, this whiskey has plenty of stories to tell.
