Bow Street 18 Year Old Cask Strength Irish Blended Whiskey Batch No. 1/2019

Category: Irish Blended Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 55.1%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of butterscotch on stewed apricot, lemon meringue, cinnamon and pepper, and peppery oatmeal cookie with a round, lively, dry medium-full body and a warming, involved, long finish conveying nuances of pepper and vanilla on bread pudding, five spice, walnut and praline rancio, and old aged leather. An Irish Whiskey that stops you in your tracks like a punch to the mouth, yet the rich, sweet layers of grain and spice have you coming back and nicely asking for another.

Blended Irish Whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskies that makes up a large majority of Irish Whiskey production. It can be blended with Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, allowing for any combination of the three to fall under the category. Any grains may be used, as well as it may be distilled in pot and/or column stills, and it may be made at a single distillery or multiple distilleries.
