Thirsty Thursday... tonight we are drinking The Blue Note, from The Whistler, Aged 7 Years, Single Malt Irish Whiskey, crafted by Boann Distillery, coming in at 46% ABV. I saw this on Flaviar and I figured a 46% ABV 7 Year Irish Whiskey was worth a try.
On the nose, there is the malt along with a lemon frosted cookie. The taste I get the malt again, along with some bright fruit and orange peel. The finish has a little bit of wood, along with malt for days and days. This was aged in bourbon barrels for 5 years, and then 2 years in a sherry cask ... I'm not really finding any sherry notes.
With water, the nose is similar, the flavor gets some hot spice and pepper added to the mix, and the finish is still malty and long. This is pretty good either way, and it might do well over ice too. This cost about $43 and I'd say it's interesting enough to be worth that. I rated it a 3.25/5.0
