A triple distilled blended Irish Whiskey produced in Cork and made, unusually, with all three styles of Irish whiskey: single pot still, single malt and grain. First produced in 1779, it wasn't until 1913 that it changed it's name to Paddy after legendary salesman Paddy Flaherty. Before that it had the rather catchy name of "Cork Distilling Company Map of Ireland Old Irish Whiskey". Rolls right off the tongue that one.
The nose is oily and fresh with floral notes, cereal grains and plenty of fruit.
The palate is sweet and of medium-body with toffee and cereals, a rosewater note with a little butterscotch and vanilla.
The finish is spicy and dry with a little black pepper and oak.
I love this stuff & am elated that we can now buy it in South Africa !!!!
The peppery taste is unique this is my first time sipping this whiskey quite smooth
We're irish and we love this water....
As the title suggests, this whiskey is pretty smooth and goes down easily. Very citrusy, floral, and honey-sweet, not at all alcoholic. The finish is dry and very black-peppery, I even sneezed a couple of times after having finished a dram, fascinating! I like it very much! It is very smooth and delicate, and I think that drinking it on the rocks or with a lot of water would destroy it completely, although I haven't tried it. In any case, it is very enjoyable sipping it neat or with just a few drops of water to open it up a little.
I've only ever tried this on the rocks. I'd classify it as being on and around the same level as the orginal Jameson and Powers Gold Label. You can drink it neat or on the rocks and its okay but there is definitely better stuff out there. Best for drinking mixed in my opinion.
