We continue our St Pattie's day tradition of enjoying a fine Irish Whiskey at home, while all of the amateurs clog the bars.
This was a Christmas gift from Cousin David. Thank you.
Web Tasting Notes:
Colour: Golden Yellow
Nose: Full and fruity aroma with a citrus – spiciness taste
Taste: Well structured with honey notes hanging from the nose. A tang of oranges and lemons, a strong malt presence that balances well with the oily sweetness
Finish: A long finish with the malt becoming more dominant to the end without the soft fruits and honey, which helped make up the middle.
Alcohol content: 40%
Serving Suggestions: The Tyrconnell can be served neat in a tumbler, or with a little water to taste.
My Take: Avoid water. It does not take much to make this whiskey to taste too thin. I agree that it is oily. I think that it tastes salty and spicy, with a sweet leather finish. This is a sipper. The kind of whiskey that you sit back and enjoy. Take some time to philosiphize about the universe, wondering where in the world is World-Wide-Kev?
Grade: B
