  • Jameson 18 Years Old Bow Street Cask Strength

    Jameson 18 Years Old Bow Street Cask Strength whiskey review: Spiced from the unmalted barley and rich and complex from both spirit and maturation, this is slightly removed from the smoothness of your usual Jameson blend and strikes me as… Continue reading

  • Irish Single Malt #3 13 Years Old Batch 3

    Irish Single Malt 13 Years Old Batch #3 whisky review: Plenty of body, packed full of fresh fruit and cereals, just a touch to sour and oaky on the finish for me. Quite a summery dram. 83/100 Continue reading

  • Redbreast 32 Years Old 1985 Dream Cask

    Redbreast 32 Years Old 1985 Dream Cask whiskey review: Despite being only 1 year older, I found this much more woody and redolent of chocolate then the last time we sampled it. A lot of the tropical fruit elements were… Continue reading

  • Redbreast 12 Years Old

    Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Pot Still Whiskey Review: A lovely mixture of fruit, sweet and spices. That Irish Pot Still unmalted barley spice and bite plus a little citric or acidic juice cuts through a rich and sweet sherry… Continue reading

  • Tullamore D.E.W. 18 Years Old Single Malt

    Tullamore D.E.W. 18 Years Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review: A deliciously dark and complex whiskey, full of coffee, cocoa and oak wood notes. 89/100 Continue reading

  • Tullamore D.E.W. XO Rum Cask

    Quality needs to be unlocked here, too much spirit, spice and strong citrus neat to be overly enjoyable. A drop of water reveals the creamy toffee & banana from the official tasting notes. 81/100 Continue reading

    Tullamore D.E.W. XO Rum Cask
  • Tullamore D.E.W. Original

    A great introductory whiskey to the Tullamore range or ‘Blended’ Irish whiskey category. All very pleasant, perhaps a hint more wood smoke and spice than I remember on previous tastings? 83/100 Continue reading

    Tullamore D.E.W. Original
  • Irish Single Malt #1 24 Years Old Batch 1

    A delicious single malt Irish whiskey expression with a distinct grapefruit and gooseberry fruit characteristic and syrupy and mouth coating texture which displays these to the utmost on the palate. Definitely one I could enjoy drinking time and time again!… Continue reading

  • The Quiet Man 8 Year Old Oloroso Cask

    Actually quite light-bodied with an airiness and sweetness very reminiscent of marshmallow, plenty of red berry fruits and some dried fruits and touches of tannins too, this has gained all the right elements from its finshing time in Oloroso casks… Continue reading
