The Irishman Founder's Reserve Oloroso Sherry Cask-Finished, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2021 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
The third in the Reserve Cask series, this has wafts of sherry wood, Victoria plum, dark marmalade, toasted almond, polished wood, ground nutmeg, and dried pear. Warm fruits, panettone, and citrus peel precede a moment of nippy spice on the palate, followed by red berries and caramel. This saves the best till last with a delicious final phase, as milk chocolate and spice soften to end with Choco-Leibniz and dried fruit. (8,000 bottles)
