HYDE No. 1 President's Cask 10 Year Sherry Cask Finish
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed
June 6, 2017 (edited March 5, 2024)
Douglas Hyde, the 1st President of Ireland, serves as namesake of this independently bottled single malt from Cooley distillery - and he'd be proud! Hibernia Distillers presents Hyde 10 as unmistakably Irish whiskey that delivers an intense nose of ripe peaches, creamy vanilla and grassy/floral notes. The sherry finish adds chocolate and hints of spices. Fresh and substantial in the arrival, the taste develops fruity, honeyed and bittersweet before finishing with well-measured oak influence. What's missing? Well, a more affordable price tag and real character.

Great review, and I agree 100% about pricing. I'd buy this at $35-40 USD, but it's running about twice that here.
