Behold J.J. Corry's The Gael Irish whiskey, built using a blend of 60% malt and 40% grain, including some of the oldest whiskey stock in the bonder's library. It's aged in a combo of bourbon and sherry casks in the Cooraclare rackhouse and presented at 46% ABV. Initially, The Gael was released in batches before becoming a permanent expression in the core range after Batch 3, and over the years it has picked up numerous awards. J.J. Corry founder Louise McGuane named the whisky The Gael after the bicycle that her fellow entrepreneur (and Victorian kindred spirit) JJ Corry himself designed, built, cycled and sold.
Sugary shortbread, peaches and cream, quite grassy at points.
Lemon drizzle cake, honeycomb, softly savoury notes of rye bread and thyme in the background.
Hazelnut spread, apricot yoghurt and mince pie filling.

I'm not a whiskey drinker Bit drank it neat. Very enjoyable
As I found with the first Batch J.J. Corry has done it again! Great flavors of southern peach and apricot, hints of vanilla and red pepper makes this second dram a great choice to any whiskey lover.
Having recently delved into the finer side of Irish Whiskey I was pleasantly surprised to track down a bottle of The Gael Batch 2. This whiskey shows so much flavour and complexity and has me anxiously awaiting Batch 3!
Have to say I can't disagree more with the review below! I really enjoyed this and the 1st batch; great to enjoy the differences between the two as well. Fruity peach and apricot with a nice pepper spice. A great dram and producer who have got me back into Irish Whiskey again.
I really wanted to like this after enjoying the 1st batch so much but this is a serious disappointment. There's some light almonds on the nose, mild marzipan but not much else. I get grass on the palate, maybe a touch of straw, then a woosh of alcohol burn and not much else. The finish is just non-existent. It's not unpleasant at all but just very bland and very dull for a whiskey at this price point. Redbreast 12 year old absolutely buries this in terms of everything at half the price if you like Irish Whisky. I'm thinking maybe I ended up with a dodgy blend/bottle or something because it's so uninspiring.
