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.
Honey on the nose along with the traditional Irish whiskey aroma. There is some nuttiness there too. Palate has a slight sweetness, again expected with an Irish, with more of the honey but also some orchard fruits. Silky smooth but with a lightly spicy finish
good
