The Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Maderia Casks Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Appearance: Light yellow gold to honey. Medium legs.

Nose: Floral notes. Fairly strong wine presence. Notes of lemon-lime Italian soda. Not overly complex, but fairly bold. The nose tends to fill the air around the glass rather thickly.

Palate: Light mouthfeel and presentation. Sweet. Notes of dry chocolate-roasted almonds, clover honey, and ribbon candy. The finish is soft and silky with lingering notes of honey and oak.

There is a soft and sweet presentation throughout. It feels well-balanced and like a complete whiskey. It is very enjoyable. The pairing of the single malt with madeira is right on the money, bringing out the best in the dram. Quite a duet. In fact, I had a hard time coming up with proper notes on this particular whiskey as it has a sort of “shut up and drink” quality to it. A very nice dram with which to unwind.
