Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
In the glass, this whiskey appears a strikingly bright, thin yellow, almost bordering on chartreuse. It’s thin in body, with no real legs.
Nose:
Odors of dry forest moss and green hay mingle with a lightly herbaceous note. On this finish, it’s earthy and lightly woodsy, like the light underbrush near an orange tree.
Palate:
This single malt is bitter, herbaceous, but delightfully so. It’s grassy, with flavors of hard candy, Pernod, and dry rosemary bark. This pleasant, refreshing, spicy, and lightly woodsy finish lingers for a long time. Final Thoughts and Score: Slieve Foy Single Malt Irish Whiskey is uniquely delicious, bringing a perspective that is lighter and subtler than expected. It kept me sipping and marveling throughout. It is too bad it is almost impossible to get a hold of a bottle of it any more.
