The Sexton Single Malt Whiskey | Master of Malt

Single pot still Irish whiskey: Unique to Ireland, Irish pot still whiskeys feature a minimum of 30% malted and 30% unmalted barley. Rich and bold, they're better suited to veteran whiskey drinkers than beginners. Our panel of certified spirits experts and consumers put a selection of Irish whiskeys to the ultimate test. Each was tasted neat and then diluted with water to soften the alcohol and bring out the core flavours. It’s hard to believe a whiskey of this billing began its story on the shelves of a single Dublin grocer. Now rightly enjoying global acclaim, it impressed our panel with its clean, floral-forward nose, bringing apple blossom, pear, honey and malt to the party. The bourbon and sherry cask maturation process imparts a fuller, spiced body, too — and they couldn’t get enough. Appearance: Yellowish, brassy and bright, like the highlights your over-enthusiastic hair stylist talked you into but which don’t really suit your face.Bushmills is the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, and its Causeway Collection is all about showcasing rare and unique cask finishes. Matured for 25 years in first-fill American oak rum casks, it's full of funkier tropical fruit notes (think: dried coconut and mango followed by sweet vanilla and warming spice.) It’s bottled at a cask strength of 46.2% and non-chill filtered for a memorable dram deserving of a spot on every epicure’s hit list.

I know I should like this. And I would like to say that I send only goodwill toward the sisterhood. But it’s like when I’m in barre class: Some women are really just not my type. This isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely not my favorite. I wanted to give it a 2, my co-taster said 3, so I’ll split the difference. Next on our hitlist is the Château Léoville Barton Irish Whiskey, which is one of a handful of Irish whiskeys finished in Bordeaux casks. Expect all the orchard fruits you'd expect of Green Spot, plus rich French oak character and lingering woodland notes.Sherry is notoriously divisive, but if you’re a fan of its nutty flavour profile, then you need to get to know this Irish whiskey. Don’t be fooled by its milder aroma; on the palate, there’s dried apricot, nutmeg, allspice and a hint of oak, leading to a rich, rounded mouthfeel.
