Tyrconnell Original Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

The Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt has a great nose, but it falls apart on the palate. Whereas the nose has a pleasant sweet malty fruitiness the palate is plagued by a burnt sweetness that isn’t fully balance out by the other flavors. If the palate could live up to the nose this would be in the high 80s no problem, but alas such is not the case. It’s not terrible by any means, it’s just not something I would want on a daily basis. More of a now-and-then basis. 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. This is a rare instance of a sharp, wide divergence between me and Scott, but the bottom line is that I was left unimpressed by The Tyrconnell. The nose and palate were thin, with a character that was predominately malty and grassy with notes of dry wood and tart spices. It’s far from my favorite Irish single malt or my favorite offering from Cooley. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

This historic Irish whiskey brand was born from the heroics of a legendary horse, who won the iconic National Produce Stakes in 1876, against fierce odds. Its victory captured the imaginations of the crowd, which included A. A. Watt, a local gentlemen distiller (God that sounds like an amazing title - doesn’t it?). To commemorate the victory and joyous occasion he created a limited edition, small batch whiskey at Watt Distillery, and bestowed it with the name of the local champion. These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits.

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.No, alcohol doesn’t expire. It will last for years as long as you store it in a cool place away from sunlight.

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. The brand also produces single cask expressions. The majority of Tyrconnell single casks are 15 years old. Way better than whiskeys like Jameson, Bushmills, or the Tullamore DEW are the most recognizable Irish Whiskeys, but short of the Writers’ Tears, Slane, and the Connemara that is crafted at the same distillery.
