Here we go! Day 1- I've been buying these bottles throughout the year, and have been looking forward to reviewing some of these. First up Tyrconnell Single Malt Double Distilled Irish Whiskey, coming in at 43% ABV with no age statement. It can be found for under $40 around here in Oregon, so while not expensive, it's not really budget either.
On the nose, I'm finding citrus, floral, some sweet notes as well. The taste is a bit different than expected, finding quite a bit of citrus, some honey and oak. The finish lingers with the citrus and I do get some heat from either some spice or the alcohol, along with an oak wood trailing off. With water, I find it a bit more sweet and a bit less sharp, I probably like it a bit better. Overall, for me this is not a typical Irish Whiskey, at least not compared to other ones I am familiar with. Not necessarily bad - but different. I might have to revisit this one and A/B compare with other Irish Whiskeys. Rated 3.0 / 5.0 ... cheers!
