Colour: Dark Amber. Nose: This whiskey has a nose that is overflowing with multitudes of different aromas. Upfront there is a huge burst of cinnamon, molasses, dark stewed tart berries, with notes of crème brûlée; vanilla, milk chocolate, caramel and even some raspberry. This is all layered on top of an underlying aroma of dark roasted malt and honey. Palate: The palate follows the nose’s intensity, with a myriad of flavours. On the fore the spices from the nose are most prevalent, with lots of cinnamon and wood prickle. Burnt sugar, honey, roasted malt can all be found in this vibrant palate. Finish: This finish is endlessly long. It is full of spice, dark stewed berries, and honeyed malt. Overall: This whiskey is chocked full of personality and flavour. This is a heavy marsala cask finish and delivers a huge amount of cask influence without drowning out the underlying malt flavours. Walsh Whiskey have achieved a great balance in this whiskey, whilst also delivering a huge amount of flavour. This has 100% taken the crown as my favourite Irishman yet!
