Tipperary

A single cask bottling of 8 year old Irish whiskey, released by the Tipperary Boutique Distillery Company Ltd (stay on the lookout for news about their own distillery, which should be coming along). This Irish single malt was treated to a finishing period in red wine casks, imparting the bronze hue to the spirit and a bounty of fruit notes to the flavour profile.
Softly buttery at first, before wave after wave of jammy raspberries and blackberries appear.
Fruity notes are more forthcoming on the palate, with hints of strawberry and red grape joining the party. Vanilla and floral barley underneath it all.
Chocolate-chip cookies and juicy kumquat on the finish.
Tipperary is one of the hidden gem among the irish distilleries.
I first tasted this at a Whisky/whiskey club and blown away by the taste, texture amazing finish so I bought a bottle and didn’t open it for months and wondered if it really was a good as I’d remembered so I opened it OMG ! I’ve just ordered another bottle by far the best Whiskey I’ve tasted for me anyway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mix of berries on the nose is very pronounced along with the earthy character of red wine. Palate is very much the same but with more spicy notes with cranberry juice last in the finish. Highly recommend.
My husband discovered Tipperary Red Wine Finish in this years Irish Whiskey Advent calendar. He says its the best whiskey he's ever tasted (he's tried plenty). I've just ordered his second bottle since Christmas, to watch him drink and enjoy it is a pleasure !
