The Whistler The Good, The Bad, and The Smoky, 48%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
This peated quarter-cask finished is loaded with notes of cut turf, asphalt, fresh banana, and leaf smoke, then building an impressive head of that smoke, adding savage spices, espresso, leather, dark chocolate, bacon fat, and a hint of cigar smoke. The palate blends citrus with lime, lemon, honeydew, banana chip, peppery spice, and creamy vanilla, with ashy smoke, caramel, malt, spiced chocolate, and a dry, mellow finish.
