This is an Irish whiskey that has enjoyed a finishing period in bourbon barrels before being bottled as part of the Peaky Blinder range from Sadler's. The name comes from a street gang that was around in the late 19th and early 20th Century, a member of which you can see on the label - note the all important cap, which apparently was where the gang name originates.
Blackcurrant and apple, with a hint of vanilla toffee underneath.
Melted chocolate, apricots, toasted oak and dried peels.
A subtle hint of cinnamon sticks around on the finish.
The whiskey was fine. The only problem was when the cork disintegrated after the first opening!!
I’m a bourbon guy but this whiskey has the sweet aroma and palate similar to bourbon so I loved it! I’m a new fan and going to buy a few bottles and bring back to the states.
Wasn’t sure what to think of a dark sherried Irish whiskey when I was given it. But it’s a really smooth, easy to drink whiskey, nicely presented in a wax sealed cork stopper bottle, and has more flavour than most Irish brands. Very impressed.
Awful whisky , smells and tastes like scotch which im not a fan of
Don't normally drink whiskey, but this was recommended, received my bottle today and can highly recommend
