Sadler's Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey

I first bought a couple bottles produced in 2019 and was very impressed with this budget Irish blend. The sherry casks really delivered a fine whiskey. The bottles had the cork covered with black wax... Fast forward a few months and I was back at the same retailer buying a restyled bottle (produced in May 2020) without the wax on the cork. The owner assured me it's the same whiskey, but it's clearly something very different and basically undrinkable. I imagine this is something that will go down hard even with a coke, although I couldn't force myself to actually try. I thought I might have gotten unlucky with a bottle, but a second one bought by a friend at another store proved to contain the exact same vile liquid... Stay away from this so-called whiskey unless you can find a good old bottle with the wax on top!

12/1

Can really taste the oak characteristics. Finished in Bourbon casks. Brewed in County Cork, Ireland. I’ve been there!

One note. To malty for me. Very bland. Will not buy again.
