The Tyrconnell Single Malt irish Whisky 5cl

Tyrconnell NAS (40%, OB, 2006)

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Fresh and clean, starting rather on the grain and mashy. Quite some milk and mashed potatoes. Goes on with pineapples and pears and then hints of fresh mint and aniseed (fennel?). Also a little caramel. A clean and fresh malt.

Mouth: Slightly toasted at the attack but also  fruitey on the nose (ripe melon and pineapple). A little vanilla crème, a little liquorice, a little caramel…

The finish is rather long (although not bold), slightly sugary, on quince jelly and with a faint waxiness… T Much more body than earlier versions I think and another perfect summer dram that should stand ice:
