Introduction:
The Tyrconnell 16 Year Old Oloroso & Moscatel Cask Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a limited edition expression from the Kilbeggan Distilling Co., celebrating the victory of a racehorse named Tyrconnell. After 16 years of aging in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, this whiskey undergoes an additional maturation in Oloroso sherry casks and Moscatel wine casks from Andalucia, imparting rich and complex flavors that make each sip a journey.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Highly tropical, with orange muscat, charred pineapple, and hints of pina colada.
Palate: The whiskey is sweet and full-bodied, with flavors of leathery melted butter, hot buttered toast, and thick-cut marmalade, creating a rich and indulgent experience.
Finish: A fresh finish with notes of peaches and apricots, along with a lingering, subtle spiced oak.
Pairing Suggestions:
Pairs beautifully with roast pork, grilled seafood, or a cheese platter. Ideal for enjoying with a rich fruit dessert or a slice of warm apple pie.
