Two new products from Ireland’s Tyrconnell are here, both single malts, both 10 years old, and both finished for 6 to 8 months in wine casks — one Port, one Sherry.

Grassy hay like malt, toasted grains and a burnt sweetness coat the mouth along with notes of pit fruit, caramel, toasted bananas, vanilla, toffee and cocoa. Like the nose it’s a bit spirity at moments which, combined with the cloying burnt sweetness, creates a flavor that I kida like and kinda don’t. It’s odd. The colour is a light honey. Crisp on the nose with violets, white chocolate, green apple and kumquat. Very grassy. Herbaceous with arugula and Italian parsley. Freshly sawn pine. Toasted almonds. Lemon zest. Water brings out earthier notes, like freshly cut grass. A very elegant single malt, and unmistakably Irish.

That's a bit light on the alcohol when compared to many Scotch whiskies.

These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits. This can serve as a good introductory bottle to smoky whisky before exploring Scotch Whiskies from Islay, known for their strong smoke characteristics.

The nose reveals an array of fruits, including lemon, orange, and pear, followed by subtle hints of vanilla and oak. The Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey is double distilled at the Cooley Distillery, County Louth, from a mash of malted Irish barley, then aged for a undisclosed number of years in seasoned oak barrels. Bottled at 80 Proof (40% ABV) in a tall, distinguished bottle with a cork stopper, the whiskey’s appearance calls attention to its tradition. It awakens like a golden dawn in the glass, with malty scents of sun-warmed grain and a characteristic sweetness blending vanilla red raspberries and fresh citrus. The taste scatters berries about a bowl of summer citrus drizzled with honeyed malt, and fades away with a sweet and lingering memory of the fruit in an ascendant malty richness. However, it’s recommended to drink it once the content is down to 25% as liquors may develop awkward notes beyond this level. Tyrconnell Single Malt Sherry Finish was named Best Irish Single Malt at the 2013 World Whiskies Awards.

This release isn’t the first time that the distillers at Cooley have experimented with Madeira casks. In 2007, The Tyrconnell released a 10-year-old expression finished in Madeira as part of a permanent series that also uses Port and sherry casks. This, however, is the oldest Madeira-finished bottling the brand has put out, and it’s described as a limited release. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). The brand also produces single cask expressions. The majority of Tyrconnell single casks are 15 years old. The Tyrconnell is a historic brand of Irish whiskey that has been revived by the Cooley Distillery owned by Beam Suntory.It has an alcohol content of 86 proof (43% ABV), higher than the average Irish Whiskey bottled at 80 proof.

The Nose: Soft, floral, and fruity nose. Light molasses and creamy grain balance well with red delicious apples and tart lemon icing on lemon-vanilla cake. Just a touch spirit-y, not off-putting though, it comes across as a subtle hint of candied licorice beneath the stronger notes. No, alcohol doesn’t expire. It will last for years as long as you store it in a cool place away from sunlight.
