Tyrconnell Single Malt

Nose: Hay, fresh cut grass, cereal notes. It has the nose of what I consider the trademark flavor of Irish whiskey. A hint of vanilla and honey at the end gives it a very subtle sweetness. A hint of citrus comes through under further exploration. Palate: Rich and full, oily sweetness. It's almost as if the sweetness at the end of the nose carries directly into the start of the palate. Again, the slight bitter cereal notes I associate with this style of whiskey transition into the finish of this. Finish: Medium to long with residual bitter char flavours hanging saying in the sides of the tongue. Soft palate richness and warmth hangs around equally long, resulting in a nice even balance. Overall, a nice Irish whiskey that you don't hear too much about. The typical Irish maltiness or graniness is definitely pronounced in this one, so if you like that hidden more this may not be for you! I would like to spend more time comparing this side by side to a few other Irish whiskies to really get a solid comparison.

Smell of green apples and lemon on the nose. Can definitely taste the honey while sipping, with a slight burn at the end. Definitely will use this for quality mixers however!
