These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits.

The Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt has a great nose, but it falls apart on the palate. Whereas the nose has a pleasant sweet malty fruitiness the palate is plagued by a burnt sweetness that isn’t fully balance out by the other flavors. If the palate could live up to the nose this would be in the high 80s no problem, but alas such is not the case. It’s not terrible by any means, it’s just not something I would want on a daily basis. More of a now-and-then basis. Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt is a no age statement Irish Whiskey owned by the Kilbeggan Distilling Company who owns the oldest distillery in Ireland, but they do not produce this whiskey there. The only whiskey they make at Kilbeggan is the whiskey of the same name. The whiskey for this brand comes from the Cooley distillery which is owned by Beam Suntory and who also owns the Kilbeggan Distilling Co. The malt gets its name from an odds-beating racehorse named Tyrconnell who ran—and won—the 1876 National Produce Stakes Horse Race at The Curragh, which, according to the brand’s publicists, is “Ireland’s most important thoroughbred racecourse.” Why is it that whiskey culture and horse racing seem to go together around the world? In this personal blog, I share my knowledge and insights on Whisky, Whiskey & Bourbon and other spirits, drawing from my 30 years of extensive experience.

That loyalty to the heritage of Irish whiskey-making has meant that even A. A. Watt would recognise the modern version of Tyrconnell; the bottle still bears the same commemorative label celebrating fateful stallions's triumph in 1876, and spirit makes for an absolutely smashing dram, like I'm sure it did then... A real dark horse, if you will?* Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

It will last for years as long as you store it in a cool place away from sunlight. The colour is a light honey. Crisp on the nose with violets, white chocolate, green apple and kumquat. Very grassy. Herbaceous with arugula and Italian parsley. Freshly sawn pine. Toasted almonds. Lemon zest. Water brings out earthier notes, like freshly cut grass. A very elegant single malt, and unmistakably Irish.

This brand is owned by Beam Suntory, which also holds brands like Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam, among several others. The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Some "premium" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh. A+: A masterpiece and one of the ten best whiskeys of its type. Above five stars.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Citrusy on the palate, with more oak than I got on the nose. Slightly spicy with hints of vanilla and caramel. Lots of lemon going on here, almost like a lozenge. Very light honey. Soft mouthfeel. Water brings out more spice and some bitter salivating oak. Even more elegant than the nose, the subtlety here is almost to a fault. Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. This historic Irish whiskey brand was born from the heroics of a legendary horse, who won the iconic National Produce Stakes in 1876, against fierce odds. Its victory captured the imaginations of the crowd, which included A. A. Watt, a local gentlemen distiller (God that sounds like an amazing title - doesn’t it?). To commemorate the victory and joyous occasion he created a limited edition, small batch whiskey at Watt Distillery, and bestowed it with the name of the local champion.
