Tyrconnell 10 years old Sherry Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey 46%

Master Distiller Noel Sweeney has used his nose to find the precise balance where the sherry cask adds spice without overpowering the underlying single malt.

Expert Review

Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Sherry Finish is a Single Malt Irish Whiskey matured in American oak and finished in sherry casks, bottled at 46%.

The whiskey matures for nearly ten years in American oak, after which it is finished for its final months in sherry casks. The goal is an elegant rounding-off rather than a heavy sherry character, requiring precision in how long the whiskey is left in the sherry casks. It is non-chill filtered, which preserves more flavour nuances but also means the whiskey can turn slightly hazy when water or ice is added. The bottle is presented in a metal gift tube.

Tasting Notes

Malt and sherry sweetness, with a touch of dried fruit.
