Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
I have had the chance to taste this whiskey on three separate occasions over its final year of maturation, and it keeps getting better every time. It’s a 32-year-old single cask using some of Midleton’s heavier pot still distillate, and spent the final seven years in an ex-Oloroso Sherry cask.
The nose has notes of freshly polished wood, plums, raisins, toffee, chocolate mint leaves, cocoa nibs, and almost no spices. The taste – in a word: Wow! Luscious, thick, and well-balanced with tree fruits at first, then turns slightly dry and mouth-puckering before the pot still spices kick in with clove, cardamom, and allspice for an extremely complex dram that deserves a lot of attention. The finish is long, dry, and very “more-ish.” One of the finest whiskies I have ever tasted! (May, 2018)
