The Irishman Cask Strength (2023 Vintage), 55.3%

A cloud of fragrant exotic spices on the nose, with paprika, pepper, and red chile flakes, backed by toffee, citrus peel, macadamia nuts, and fresh-baked pecan cookies. This is effortlessly easy to drink at cask strength: such an eloquent whiskey! Peach, caramelized apple, caramel, heather honey, and wood spices; the weighty mouthfeel layers on malt, dried fruits, and hazelnut, with chocolate, coffee grounds, and bitter peel to finish.
