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 can’t begin to describe the range of tastes and smells this has. It is gentle, warm and immensely complex with fruit, nuts, leather and goodness knows what else in there. Utterly delicious and satisfying.
This just arrived in Virginia and it's a good one. However, the design of the bottle means it dribbles all over the bar top and not in the glass! A sinful waste.
Lovely aroma of dark fruits and sherry. One of the best and will definitely be returning to.
Extremely quaffable, quite sweet and chocolate tinged with traces of fruitiness.
A great mix of flavours that work sell together. A bit of sweetness with some honey flavour and some woody bottom end taste. Not too harsh to start with and then is a bit of a burner - it certainly can't be considered smooth - but it's the combination of flavours that make it a winner for me
