The Irishman Single Malt 12 Year Old
At Irishman, we can be proud of constantly raising the bar for the quality of our Irish whiskeys and also offering something new and excitingly different. With the 12-year-old Irishman single malt whiskey, we definitely feel that we have fulfilled this promise. This extraordinary whiskey is the result of a 12-year maturation in exclusively bourbon filled barrels.
Irishman 12 Year Old Single Malt is an eternal Irish malt whiskey that matures in first-time filled and flame-tanned bourbon barrels. Each year, we select only a few of the best barrels to “cut our twelve-year-olds. A maximum of 6,000 bottles are produced each year. Each bottle is numbered in series as a mark of quality and is filtered without cooling.
Aroma: Incredibly full scent, undoubted influence of bourbon barrels with delicately sweet spicy tones of vanilla, cinnamon and even clove tinctures. All this is balanced by apples and pears, tanned wood and freshly chopped hay.
Taste: The first sip is an explosion of rich taste, sweet after vanilla and gently amplified by grains of black pepper, which reluctantly give way to a juicy fruity center and then slowly fade to leave a very satisfying grassy cereal finish.
Conclusion: The fullness of the main part is lost quite quickly, but it leaves a persistent juicy taste of barley and oak. The touch of creamy milk caramel and dark chocolate completes this complexity.
