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.
This whiskey from Dublin’s Pearse Lyons Distillery is a unique four-cask blend of single malts and grain whiskies between four and ten years old. One malt is matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels, while the second was finished in Port wine pipes. The grains were matured in sherry casks and “double-charred” casks.
The nose has notes of sandalwood, cedar, toasted oak, butterscotch, and muted spices. The taste has a good spiciness with hints of clove, allspice, and crystallized ginger balanced by butterscotch and honey for a well-rounded and vibrant flavor. The long finish has touches of ginger snap cookies, malt, buttered popcorn, and honey. Very nice! (November, 2018)
