Magillan Irish Single Malt Pure Pot Still

Here’s a tasting profile for the Magilligan Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey, a somewhat misleadingly named but intriguing bottling from the Cooley distillery:

Brand: Magilligan

Distillery: Cooley (County Louth, Ireland)

Style: Despite the name, this is a single malt, not a true pure pot still whiskey

Cask Type: Bourbon-matured

ABV: 43%

Age: No age statement

Status: Discontinued

Nose :- Light and nutty: Dried peach, mixed herbs, and a hint of turf smoke. Wood shavings and a curious note of wet pavement after rain. Suggests youth, but with aromatic intrigue

Palate :- Buttery and sweet: A juicy center with crisp maltiness. Some tasters liken it to eating Smarties—playful and candy-like. Coats the tongue with a soft, creamy texture

Finish :- Peppery and spicy: Builds weight toward the end.l Leaves a warming trail with hints of herbal spice

A quirky and youthful single malt with a name that evokes traditional Irish pot still character. While not technically a pure pot still whiskey, it offers a spicy, nutty profile that nods to the style. Ideal for those exploring Cooley’s early output or seeking a light, herbaceous Irish malt
