Tyrconnell Single Malt

I've never had an Irish single malt and NC decided to not sell this anymore, so I picked it up over more well-regarded single malts. It has been disappointing. There is negligible difference between this and a Scotch single malt, which I should've expected. The nose is pleasant enough, that sweet bready smell you get with a lot of Irish whiskey. The taste starts out fine, but the finish is not good. It dries the palate almost immediately and it is not enjoyable to keep sipping. I always struggle with this when I pour >1.0 oz, which is why I've had it open for 3 months. I need to try the Bushmills or Tullamore single malts to see if this is an Irish outlier.

Fruity. Solid.

Good taste, very smooth, but rather plain, probably would not buy
