The Tyrconnell 10 year old Port Cask Finish, 46%

Price: 75 Issue: Fall 2018 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt

Comparatively speaking, the aromas of red apple, peppercorn, baked ham, and rowanberry make it the least enticing nose in the Tyrconnell range, although the port cask endows a beautiful delicate blush to the whiskey's color. The mouthfeel is thinner too, with red apple, watermelon, mouth-drawing oak, fruit chews, and burnt spices in the end. A redeeming finish, however, the gums tingling delightfully with fruit and spice.
