The Fighting 69th, 43%

Price: 60 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt

Elegant and inviting, the nose begins with notes of malted barley, honey, vanilla, and caramel, followed by crisp spices and ripe stone fruits. It’s smooth and bursting with vanilla flavors, plus honey, tangy notes of lemon and lime, and white chocolate, then all-butter shortbread, grapefruit, grilled pineapple, and toasted oak develop toward the end. Refreshing and smooth, a worthy dram for the regiment.
