Here's the second batch from W.D. O'Connell's Bill Phil range (named after the O'Connell family nickname from back in the day, coming from William Philip O’Connell, a blacksmith known for making great tools for footing turf). It's a single malt Irish whiskey, which was made with peated malt that has been triple-distilled - not a common sight in the slightest! Made at the Great Northern Distillery in Dundalk, it's a light, fruity with, with intriguing wafts of smoke coming through too.
Grassy malt with a whiff of earthy smokiness, balanced by crisp green apple and poached pear warmth.
Citrusy notes grow on the palate - think flamed orange peel and grapefruit. Oily smoke, toasted malt and buttery vanilla.
Softly spicy with cassia and clove, while maintaining a fruit-forward freshness.

A really special bottling from Ireland. This Batch is the standout so far.
