The Irishman Vintage Cask (2020 Release), 55.2%

Price: $140 Issue: Fall 2020 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick

Highly fragrant and floral, this single pot still and single malt blend exudes notes of vanilla fudge, lemon and lime zest, fresh fruit salad, watermelon, and green herbs. The full-bodied palate blasts a comet of orange across a night sky of vanilla, light spices, sponge cake, apricot tart, and stone fruit pastries, with a finish of spice and creamy orange fondant. If anything, it's even more expressive with water. (3,500 bottles, 750 for U.S.)
