Description

This Irish whiskey is part of the first core range from the Pearse Lyons distillery. Distiller's Choice was created using a blend of several malt and grain Irish whiskies, aged in bourbon barrels with a small proportion aged in sherry casks. The blend is bottled, like all the whiskeys in the Pearse line, at 42% ABV and features no chill-filtration or additional colouring.

Nose

Through oily barley and double vanilla bourbon ice cream, there’s stewed apricots, wet grass and touches of fruitcake. Subtle spices percolate throughout.

Palate

Complex fruit notes come from white grape and tinned pear, while a creamy element continues to sweeten things, developing into rhubarb tart and custard. There’s a suggestion of black fruit and ripe malt on the mid-palate among cooking apples and dark caramel.

Finish

The finish dries slightly with a chestnut-like note and hit of clove spice.

Overall

A little rich and very well layered, this should work in a number of cocktails.

Tase like poitin

It must be my paler but in all fairness it tases like poitin

Very enjoyable

A very interesting whiskey, it's completely different from any other Irish (or Scotch, for that matter) whiskies I've tried. Definitely get the stewed apricots, grassy and spicy notes referred to above. It's oily but also quite bright and bustling. There's something christmassy about it, though it's more of an apples and pears thing, there's no hint of raisins etc. Very enjoyable.
