Tyrconnell Original Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

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. Kilbeggan Single Grain – formerly marketed as Greenore, this is a single grain whiskey, made with corn alone, and aged in Bourbon casks. Kilbeggan Single Grain is found with several age statements; 6-, 8-, 15-, and 18-year versions are produced, although the 15- and 18-year releases are relatively rare (5,000 and 4,000 bottles, respectively). The brand also produces single cask expressions. The majority of Tyrconnell single casks are 15 years old. Cooley has won over 300 medals since opening. Other awards they have received include "European Distiller of the Year" in 2008 and 2009 and "Distillery of the Year" in 2008 from the International Wine and Spirit Competition and "Distillery of the Year" in 2010 from Malt Advocate magazine.

All whiskeys are made from some kind of grain. Malted barley—barley that's been allowed to sprout and then dried—is a very common ingredient, as it contains an enzyme that helps break down starches into fermentable sugars. If a whiskey is called a "single malt," that means it's made from 100 percent malted barley, at one individual distillery, while a "single grain" whiskey is made at a single distillery but can use a mix of barley and other grains, such as corn or wheat.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. For a world-class whiskey that's worth every penny, we recommend the renowned Redbreast 15 Year Irish Whiskey. For a more affordable dram great for mixing or sipping, try Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey. FAQs What is Irish whiskey? Many whiskey distilleries produce a range of whiskeys that vary in price. If there’s a brand that you enjoy, see what else they offer because there may be a cheaper bottle available. It may not be quite as good or smooth as the higher-priced whiskey, but it will likely have some of the same characteristics. Also, some whiskey makers don’t promote their cheapest bottles and focus marketing efforts on the more popular expressions. Keep an eye out for hidden budget-conscious gems from names you trust.

Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt is a no age statement Irish Whiskey owned by the Kilbeggan Distilling Company who owns the oldest distillery in Ireland, but they do not produce this whiskey there.

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. Ireland also has its own local version of "moonshine," an unaged whiskey called potcheen (also spelled poitín or poteen). Because it's not aged for three years, it can’t legally have “Irish whiskey” on the label, but it is another type of whiskey made in Ireland. The nose reveals an array of fruits, including lemon, orange, and pear, followed by subtle hints of vanilla and oak.

The resulting whiskey proved to be so popular, however, that Watt, who had intended for it be a single cask affair, was required to make it part of his core range. Such was the success, that some claim that Tyrconnell was the best selling Irish whiskey before Prohibition.
