Pearse Lyons Reserve, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2011 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
Hard to say what this is: the label just says “WHISKEY.” My nose, though, says “Irish whiskey.” Grassy malt, sweet heat, light pear esters. It's there in the mouth, too: smooth sweet malt, vaporous lift off the tongue, Irish light elegance, and a lingering finish with a slippery hint of vanilla. Considering the eponymous distiller is Irish... Nice stuff; now tell us more about it.
