This blended Irish Whiskey was truly a positive surprise for me. Made with 70% single malt and 30% single pot still and triple distilled and aged in matured oak bourbon casks.
For the Irish movie reference I had to take Waking Ned Devine, because this whiskey almost felt like a lottery win. That's how good it was when compared to it's price.
Gladly I didn't die for The Irishman 70 but nearly went to heaven because of it's taste. I think I'm creating more hype than the score may indicate but The Irishman was just so nice compared to my expectations.
Nose: Cinnamon and fruits with hints of vanilla.
Taste: Lightly spicy, bourbony and oaky with a great touch of vanilla.
Finish: Toffee along with oak, good but bit too short.
Balance: Good nose and fairly in balance, good stuff for it's price range! Reminds me of Buffalo Trace very much.
Like Buffalo Trace without the waxy honey
