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.

In the glass, The Tyrconnell is a light straw-gold, quite pale and pretty. On the nose there is a little pungent alcohol burn, and a definite malty aroma -- it has a biscuity, cake-like scent. There's some aromatic lime and a touch of honey. It's a very appealing, gentle nose. My wife Grace detects fennel or licorice in it and says there is something that reminds her of "vaseline, but not in a bad way." It has an alcohol content of 86 proof (43% ABV), higher than the average Irish Whiskey bottled at 80 proof. Two new products from Ireland’s Tyrconnell are here, both single malts, both 10 years old, and both finished for 6 to 8 months in wine casks — one Port, one Sherry. 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.

These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits. The Tyrconnell is a historic brand of Irish whiskey that has been revived by the Cooley Distillery owned by Beam Suntory.

This is a rare instance of a sharp, wide divergence between me and Scott, but the bottom line is that I was left unimpressed by The Tyrconnell. The nose and palate were thin, with a character that was predominately malty and grassy with notes of dry wood and tart spices. It’s far from my favorite Irish single malt or my favorite offering from Cooley. No, alcohol doesn’t expire. It will last for years as long as you store it in a cool place away from sunlight.The Nose: Soft, floral, and fruity nose. Light molasses and creamy grain balance well with red delicious apples and tart lemon icing on lemon-vanilla cake. Just a touch spirit-y, not off-putting though, it comes across as a subtle hint of candied licorice beneath the stronger notes.
