Sláinte Irish Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

40% ABV. Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. $37.99 per 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
This is a light golden straw yellow in color. Tiny droplets form on the side of the glass that turn into thin long legs.
Nose:
First impressions are those of a breakfast pastry, I think of apple danishes in particular, with apple, yeast, and mild baking spice. There are some subtle notes of sweet red fruit and chocolate.
Palate:
I get caramel and apple up front, this is certainly on the sweet end of the whiskey spectrum. This doesn’t seem to have any transition from the front of the palate to the finish. The finish has a sulphury quality with white pepper. Nothing unpleasant about it, but pretty straight forward
Finish:
Comments:
This is a sweeter Irish whiskey that drinks rather nicely. One of the better whiskeys I’ve seen released by a famous person entering the world of spirits. Certainly worth trying if you enjoy sweeter Irish whiskey, and you get the bonus of contributing money to Ukraine.
