Kilbeggan Single Grain

Nose: Pears and apples blending with caramel. Some malt. Cut grass. Subtle honey and coconut. Palate: Buttered biscuit. Honey. Toasted almond. Some spice towards the end. Finish: Hints of oak and malt. Vanilla coming through. Slightly spicier here. Overall Thoughts: A decent whiskey! Certainly not a typical flavor but definitely interesting and complex. Relatively lower price but of a higher quality than it’s price tag. I’ll happily try the other Kilbeggan whiskeys in due time, they seem to know exactly what they’re doing!

Sweetly vanilla-like. Rich a brightly full flavoured, lacking peat. I like

Spicy notes shine through. A unique Irish whiskey!

Pretty solid Irish whiskey

Got a bite then smooths out with a touch of vanilla.

Very vanilla-y nose. A gentle bite of peat. Some hints of fruit and citrus. Crisp and clean finish.

Nose of apple and pear. The second sniff is just a touch of spilled black ink and the last, fleeting drippings of a gas pump. The flavor is more tree fruits: pear, red apple skins, apricot. The potpourri, flowery spice comes dances on the palate. There is a surprising burn for 86 proof. The finish is tobacco smoke and more of that inky stuff. The more you add water droplets, the more the burn subsides and the apple skins pop out. Tannic/puckery tartness that dovetails well with the citrus and spice. A pretty solid, affordable Irish.
