McConnell’s Irish Whisky review

Tasting Notes

About:

Blend of Irish malt and Irish grain whiskey, 84 proof (42% ABV), 750 ml MSRP $32.
Appearance:
Yellow gold.
Nose:
On the nose are flavors of orchard fruit, spice, honey, vanilla, and butterscotch with a hint of white chocolate.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Sweet honey notes up front gently segue into pepper spice notes on the mid palate before subtle grain notes arrive on the back end. Delicate with a slightly creamy mouth feel, a medium finish, and a subtle oiliness that gently coats the tongue. Overall this is an approachable, easy drinking, and quite tasty Irish whiskey experience with a very reasonable price point.
