Price: ● Issue: Spring 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
A triple-distilled creation from master blender Noel Sweeney, best known for his work at Cooley Distillery, this hits the nose with bold roasted spices, cooked apple, cola, raisin, leather, wax polish, dry roasted nuts, and a whiff of dates. The flavors gently ramp up, beginning with soft ginger spices and root beer, through to baked orange, Bramley apple, cherry gummy bears, and fresh fig territory. More to come, we hope.
