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.

Got two glasses in and won't be drinking anymore disgusting
Absolutely disgusting, tastes like industrial alcohol laced with methylated spirits - all negative reviews are spot on.
I was expecting Jameson, but no. This is light, floral and with a hint of butterscotch. Smooth and enjoyable. A very pleasant surprise.
I bought and tried this malt before I even read any reviews, so I didn't know what to expect. Got it on sale for the price of a blend, so I really wasn't expecting much. However I am pleasantly impressed with this one. It's a bit rough for a malt, but overall it tastes great and I can't think of any other whiskey that tastes like this one. Distinct notes of peanuts, chocolate and roasted seeds, just like it says on the bottle. Definitely an experimental malt here and well worth a try. I will be buying it again for some variety in my collection. I'm really not sure what all the 1 star reviewers were drinking actually. Perhaps a bad batch?
The worst whiskey I have ever tasted, I poured most of it away.
