About this deal

The Tyrconnell is a historic brand of Irish whiskey that has been revived by the Cooley Distillery owned by Beam Suntory. Tyrconnell Single Malt Sherry Finish was named Best Irish Single Malt at the 2013 World Whiskies Awards. [2] Alternative brand expressions [ edit ]

Unfortunately, the brand disappeared post-Prohibition, until it was thankfully revived by the Kilbeggan Distilling Company, who now distill the version you see here, Tyrconnell Irish Whiskey, at Cooley Distillery, with the same passion for traditional distillation methods and classic Irish brands that also be seen in Connemara too, a brand also owned by the Kilbeggan Distilling Company.

The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Some "premium" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh. A+: A masterpiece and one of the ten best whiskeys of its type. Above five stars. These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits. This brand is owned by Beam Suntory, which also holds brands like Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam, among several others. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

On the tongue, there's an immediate sweetness and roundness that is very pleasant: shortbread or biscuits are definitely up front, but there is more to it than that -- the finish is light on burn but long on pleasant citrus notes, like lemon taffy. There's something like tart green apples; there's yeasty breadiness, like ripping open a fresh baguette. There are apricots (sulfured, but the sulfur is not pronounced or unpleasant). And that mouth feel is really exceptional -- it's not oily exactly, but syrupy. This has one of the best mouth feels of any whisky I've tasted. This can serve as a good introductory bottle to smoky whisky before exploring Scotch Whiskies from Islay, known for their strong smoke characteristics. The Palate: Wonderful, honeyed, slightly syrupy entry with apples and crisp, toasted rye bread-like grain which brings a subtle spiciness while juicy citrus notes bring a nice mouthwatering acidity. Towards the end, there are faint cocoa nib hints that add a mild earthiness. The resulting whiskey proved to be so popular, however, that Watt, who had intended for it be a single cask affair, was required to make it part of his core range. Such was the success, that some claim that Tyrconnell was the best selling Irish whiskey before Prohibition.
