====== Whiskys Irlandais====== ===== Glendalough ===== //Distillerie à Wicklllow.// ==== Thirteen year Mizunara finish single malt ==== | {{whisky:glendalough_mizunara_13.jpg?150}} ^Note du distilleur| | ::: |St Kevin, the man on our bottle, stood apart. This whiskey does the same. | | ::: |Thirteen years in a bourbon barrel imparted a luxurious sweetness of honeycomb, dried apricots, citrus, and spices. | | ::: |While the rare, Japanese Mizunara oak finish added a layer of creamy vanilla smoothness. | === Infos === *Degré : 46% *Note : Whisky bon en été/automne ou au printemps. Très iodée, plutôt marin. On sent bien les abricots. Une note très crémeuse et vanillée en arrière bouche. Assez épicé en bouche. *Août 2018 ---- ===== Mitchell & Son ===== //Distillerie à Dublin depuis 1805.// ==== Green Spot ==== | {{whisky:mitchell_green_spot.jpg?200}} ^Note du distilleur| | ::: |Once almost extinct, this legendary whiskey is a rare taste of Pot Still Irish whiskey at its best. Matured in American bourbon and sherry casks this is a whiskey of immense flavour and complexity. | | ::: |**Nose :** Fresh aromatic oils and spices with orchard fruits and barley on a background of toasted wood. | | ::: |**Taste :** Full spicy body. A hint of cloves along with the fruity sweetness of green apples rounded off with toasted oak. | | ::: |**Finish :** Lingering flavours of spices and barley. | === Infos === *Degré : 40% *Note : Whisky d'été. Légèrement tourbé, très fruité. Notes de pommes et d'abricot confits ? Légèrement crémeux en arrière bouche, mais pas de manière écoeurante. Whisky plutôt intérieur des terres, plaines vertes et arbres fruitiers. *Avril 2018 ===== Teeling ===== //Since 1782.// ==== Small Batch ==== Rum Casks | {{teeling-small-batch.jpg?400px}} ^Note du distilleur| | ::: | We are the **first distillery** to open in **Dublin city** for **125 years**. Yet whiskey making flows through our family's veins. Over **two centuries** of it. It is our deep **Dublin roots** that give us confidence //to do things differently//. The **Small Batch bottling** consists of //handselected casks// of **Bourbon cask aged Irish Whiskey** which are given //further maturation// in **ex-rum barrels** imparting a //unique dried fruit character//. This is not how everyone makes **Irish whiskey. It's our way.**| | ::: |**Nose :** An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dances with bright sweet notes of rum. | | ::: |**Taste :** While being very approachable the influence of the rum cask and higher percentage alcohol creates a unique smooth, sweet, slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue. | | ::: |**Finish :** Slightly moorish, sweet spice finish complimented by woody undertones. | === Infos === *Degré : 46% *Note : Doux et vanillé au nez. Une attaque douce et un finish long, mélange d'épices et d'une douceur fruit sec & vanille. *Printemps 2024
