Tasting Notes

About:

40% ABV. Irish pot-still whiskey imported from Ireland and bottled in Indiana. 750ml $30.
Appearance:
Pale Straw
Nose:
The aroma is light, so you must dig deep to distinguish the notes in between. Barley fills the nostrils in abundance. Burnt, or charred, orange peel follows behind the barley. The dram then moves into a grassy and herbaceous realm. Near the end, rose petal jumps out in both fresh and dried variations.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Although McCabe’s Irish Whiskey is basically water to me, I really enjoyed the mouthfeel. It is nice to step down from high proof whiskey every now and then since you can have an extra dram. The caramel waffle cone was a pleasant surprise on the palate. As for the price point, you cannot go wrong if you just want to try it. McCabe’s Irish Whiskey definitely stands out on its own compared to other Irish whiskies on the market, so give it a whirl.
