12 Year Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Category: Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 40%
Gold color. Grainy aromas and flavors of strawberry syrup, vanilla cream, and shortcake, oatmeal cookie, and banana bread with a round, vibrant, bone-dry medium body and a seamless, involved, medium-long finish with suggestions of peaches and cream, lemon creme brulee, peanut oil, and sweet tobacco. A fruit and grain balanced Irish Single Malt with vanilla and spice from the oak that could be sipped all day, but with complexity such that it deserves to be savored.

Single malt Irish whiskeys, like their Scottish cousins, are whiskies that are only made with malted barley. They are usually triple distilled through both column and pot stills, although there are a few exclusively pot-distilled brands.
