Michael Collins 10 Year Old, 40%
Price: $40.00 ● Issue: Summer 2011 ● Reviewer: Dominic Roskrow
Don't remember ever reading that Michael Collins suffered from schizophrenia… This is a bewildering whiskey suffering from an identity crisis; its fruity apple Irish heart wrapped in wood, some peat, and conversely, some sherbet and sugar-coated almonds. It's not unpleasant — far from it — but the journey from sweet apple to sharp spice is a challenge. Stay with it and ultimately the complexities of the malt win through.
