The Irishman Single Malt 12 Year Old

70cl / 43% Vol
The Irishman Single Malt 12 Year Old

Limited to a small production of just 6000 bottles every year. This is a fine single malt that was triple distilled and aged for 12 years in first fill bourbon casks. Each year the people at the Irishman carefully select their casks from a Northern Irish distillery to go into the Irishman 12 Year Old. We only get a small allocation of this each year, so innevitably we will run out between batches. Our own tasting notes: An explosion of fruits on the nose, with hints of candyfloss, mixed citrus peel, pineapple and tangerine. The palate is fresh and vibrant with flavours of boiled sweets, ripe citrus fruit, honey and red apples. Very smooth all the way to the finish. Incredibly complex, fruity and long lasting given it's 12 year old age statement. Bottled at 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose A light sweet spicy note of vanilla, cinnamon and even a tincture of clove.
Palate The initial sip is a burst of rich flavours, sweet with vanilla and delicately bolstered by black peppercorns. This gently gives way to succulent fruits, leaving behind a lingering flavour of grassy cereal notes.

FAQs
Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.
Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.
The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.
Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
