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 bought a trial bottle of Sexton this week. It is richer and darker than I was expecting..one review says more Scotch-like and I agree. It has a good taste and mouth feel. But on the two occasions I've sampled it, a dram (two ounce) per day, it's given me a dull headache and sleepy. Is it "boosted" with Everclear ? The bottle is unique, but is a sloppy pour resulting in drips down the side...I transferred the elixir into an empty Dimple bottle and put the Sexton on display above the cupboard
Pre-amble: All whiskey reviews are relative. I try to make use of the full 1 to 5 scale so that it actually has a purpose. My base 5 star is a Redbreast 12, if you rate it a 1 you are firstly a vodka drinker but more importantly you can skip this. Difficult to place this whiskey, as it doesn't drink like an Irish. It's a coarser Aberlour 12, so it's more of a trad Scotch with the Aberlour notes.
For the price point this really is a phenomenal whiskey. It tastes like it should be twice the price. The tasting notes are spot on and if you like toffee, Christmas-cake qualities in a whiskey, you can't go too far wrong with this. An easy, every day drop
There is a reason this whisky is so cheap. It's because it is terrible. One of the worst I have tried, but it's my own fault: I should have known.
Normally, I can tell you what I’m tasting. Here, there are so many different dimensions, it’s difficult to describe. I have warmth, dried fruit, leather, tobacco, and goodness knows what else. This is really good stuff
