Lambay Whiskey Small Batch Blend Whisky Review: A little oily and buttery for my liking on the palate but carries a good sweetness and reasonable diversity of flavours. 80/100
Lambay Whiskey Small Batch Blend (40%, OB, 2020)
Lambay Single Malt (40%, OB, 2020)
Lambay Single Malt Whisky Review: A lovely dram, full of ‘green’ fruits, kiwi, banana and coconut, there are hints of tannic oak wood and woody sugars that along with some of these fruits may have developed from the Cognac cask finish? 83/100
Writers Tears Cask Strength 2018 Edition (53%, OB, 5175 Bottles, 2018)
Writers Tears Cask Strength 2018 Edition whisky review: An interesting foray into cask strength Irish Whisky. Approachable at presentation strength and just that little bit more flavourful and intense on the palate. Thankfully everything is soft and well presented here making this very drinkable and enjoyable. 85/100
Teeling 24 Years Old Vintage Reserve Collection (46%, OB, 5000 Bottles, 2016)
Teeling 24 Years Old Vintage Reserve Collection whisky review: Superb, musty and woody on the nose the Sauternes finish has worked wonders here with a lovely woody and herbal honey with touches of grape, orange and pineapple, delicious. 87/100
Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 1 (49.5%, OB, 12500 Bottles, 2017)
Teeling Brabazon Bottling Series 1 whisky review: Great balanced sherry dram, not overtly sherried – I’m not sure I’d call this a monster?
Teeling Small Batch (46%, OB, 2019)
Teeling Small Batch Whisky Review: Creamy and well balanced a very nice blend that hasn’t been over-sweetened by Rum cask finishing. 83/100
Teeling Single Grain (46%, OB, 2018)
Teeling Single Grain whisky review: Initially a little spirity on the nose but grat palate and flavour, with time/breathing mellows into a rich and sweet lemon curd, some tannin and spice but I didn’t place the wine cask – I mistook it for the grainy spice from unmalted barley or rye cereals. 80/100
Irish Single Malt #1 13 Years Old Batch 2 (48.4%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 2200 Bottles, 2017)
Irish Single Malt #1 13 Years Old Batch 2 Whisky Review: A very fresh and fruity 13 year old expression / batch. Full of apples and oak and very drinkable for it. 84/100
J.J. Corry The Flintlock 16 Years Old (46%, OB, Bourbon casks, 600 bottles, 2018)
J.J. Corry The Flintlock whisky review: A nice single malt with plenty of sharpness to it, surprised this was 16 years old as the sharpness and spice convinced me it was a little younger perhaps? 84/100
J. J. Corry The Gael (46%, OB, 7500 Bottles, 2017)
J. J. Corry The Gael whisky review: Much more accomplished/complete and very enjoyable. This is the target flavour profile The Chapel Gate Whiskey are aiming for then I expect a highly drinkable series of whiskeys will follow. 83/100
