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.
I was getting a hint of liquorice which I really enjoyed although no other reviews mentioned this so maybe just me
Nose: hints of nuttiness, with an abundance of honey and fruity sweetness.. a bit of oak in there too. Palate: chocolate and berries, with a tinge of spice, no ethanol flavour to be found. Visual: beautiful legs when swirled, gorgeous copper colour (though cannot say if it’s due to aging, or because of additives) All in all, for the price, I’ve had better Irish Single Malts, but all things considered, it meets all the requirements of a good Irish Whiskey.
I thought the finish was a wee bit harsh
Very smooth on the palate and very pleasant aftertaste
A very nice whiskey that punches well above it's price point. Can definitely tell its a young whiskey but goes down well with a smooth finish. Had it neat on ice
