Introduction:
The Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Sherry Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a refined expression that starts its journey in bourbon barrels before undergoing a final maturation period in Oloroso Sherry casks from Spain. This additional 6-8 months of aging in these fortified wine casks imparts a rich complexity, resulting in a noticeably darker, sweeter whiskey. The influence of the sherry casks creates a dessert-like experience in every sip.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: A rich, sweet aroma with notes of sherry, tarte tatin, and a hint of custard.
Palate: The whiskey offers a decadent mouthfeel, blending the sweetness of sherry with subtle hints of dark fruit and baked goods.
Finish: A smooth and lingering finish with dessert-like flavors of caramel and spiced oak.
Pairing Suggestions:
Perfect with dark chocolate desserts, cheese boards, or a slice of apple pie. This whiskey also pairs wonderfully with roast duck or grilled steak.
