Introduced in 2013, The Irishman 12yo single malt from Walsh Whiskey is limited to a small production each year. Crafted exclusively from Irish barley, triple distilled at a Northern Irish distillery, and matured for a minimum of 12 years in first-fill, flame-charred ex-bourbon casks. 9,000 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered and bottled at 43%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Sweet spicy notes of vanilla, cinnamon and even a tincture of clove. All balanced with apples and pears, some charred wood and freshly cut hay.
Palate: Sweet with vanilla, bolstered by black peppercorns, reluctantly giving way to a succulent fruity mid-section.
Finish: Lingering succulent flavour of barley and oak. A touch of creamy dairy fudge and dark chocolate.
