Method & Madness Malt & Rye Triple Distilled, 46%

The nose is light, elegant, and lean, with flora notes, lemon biscuits, white sugar cubes, vanilla macaroons, white pepper, and a hint of rye spice. Vanilla, pear, melon, ginger, and spicy rye notes, with cinnamon, caramel, pepper, and lemon zest, becoming creamier after the initial spicy period. Irish rye styles vary greatly in flavor, but this is a much milder expression than Irish Distillers’ previous double-distilled version. (U.S. exclusive, 5,000 bottles)
