Another Irish whiskey from The Pogues (yes, the band) and West Cork Distillers. The band's first foray into the world of whiskey was a brilliant Irish blend, and now we have a single malt, aged in bourbon oak casks before it was bottled up at 40% ABV. Now we're going to have Fairytale of New York stuck in our heads for the rest of the day.
Fairly floral, with lavendar, sesame snaps, caramelised nuts and salted chocolate.
Dry oak spice and chai spices, with peanut butter, s'mores and floral malt.
A gentle finish of lingering caramel alongside cinnamon stick.

Not that good, very disappointing. My usual is Bushmills original which is much nicer.
Never again!
With regards to a previous review, “you get what you pay for” is incorrect - at least as far as whisky is concerned. Black Bottle and Ballantine’s Finest are fantastic drams which can be found £5-10 cheaper than this. Or Ancnoc 12 is a fine example of an entry level speysider only a couple of pounds more. This is just a horrible gimmicky drink with no love put into it. Perhaps it was blended, tasted and passed by Shane MacGowan himself?
Drinkable if nothing else
I have just read some of the poor reviews and disagree! It's pleasant easy drinking and good value for money you get what you pay for whisky expert's
