The creation of master blender Alex Thomas, The Sexton Single Malt Irish whiskey is made from 100% Irish malted barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills. After, the liquid is aged in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks imparting a rich and fruity character. It comes in a rather eye-catching hexagonal bottle, too.
Rich aromas of nuts, marzipan and dark chocolate with a pinch of spice.
Dried fruit followed by honeycomb sweetness, apricots, lemon zest, prunes and oak spice.
Woody on the finish, with honeyed sweetness coming through.

Thought I'd give this a go, if only because the bottle is a thing of beauty. It isn't an offensive whiskey, but I'm not getting the layers and finish that I'd normally appreciate. I'm generally a Speyside fan and this is really as far removed from this as it can be. For a single malt it tastes a lot like a cheaper blended whiskey, not what I was expecting at all. If I had to make a comparison I find it to be in the vicinity of a cheaper American bourbon, good for drinking on a night out.
This one is interesting. If I would try it blind, I would probably never guess it’s an Irish whiskey. Not what I’m used to from an Irish. Reminds me of a mix of Aberfeldy 12 and brandy. Notes of honey, walnuts, almonds and grapes.
For the price it's a no brainer. Super smooth and delicious
Great flavour lovely bottle what it’s in really like this one great value for money recommend
I resisted buying this whiskey for at least 9 months after first seeing it because I thought that the name Sexton was a cynical exploitation of the reputation of Jonny Sexton, Leinster and Ireland rugby legend. I bought a bottle eventually to have to hand during the last Rugby World Cup in France in 2023. My first sip was a revelation. It is the only whiskey which I drink neat, like cognac. Utterly delicious and a consolation when Ireland went out in the quarter-finals. Well done, Bushmills!
