Cost
The Founders Reserve is the first bottling in the Irishman line-up and was formally known as The Irishman 70. It has been named as such due to the 70% single malt component in the whiskey. The remaining 30% is comprised of single pot still whiskey and all of the whiskey is aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

Tasting Notes
"While not intensely aromatic, you will find grain, honey, and a small dose of vanilla to the whiskey. Apples and citrus help to provide a tangy quality, and while the dram isn't lush and full, the whiskey is smooth. Your finish is slightly bitter and filled with more grain and apple and just a touch of almonds."
