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.

As someone who likes an occasional Irish Whiskey, absolutely loved the Pogues Single Malt. Referring to the 'bad' reviews, I can understand if someone is used to drinking scotch whisky with the strength of paint stripper, that this whiskey would seem very mild. Some of the reviewers obviously have alternative reasons for their comments. And if someone said, "not my taste", sand scored 1 out of 5, .. that's OK. PS I owned pubs, so recognise where extreme comments come from.
This is by far the worst whiskey I have ever tasted it tastes like home made hooch.All the whiskies I have drank blended or single malt regardless of price are at least drinkable the Pogues is not.
I had to serve this for 6 months. This is the worst shit I have ever tasted.
Just love my whiskey but I have yet to taste a worse one than this detergent. How this came out of a distillery is beyond me need to go back to off licence and get something else. Drinking this would ruin my weekend.
As one of the previous reviewers, I don’t consider myself a snob. I’m as happy with a Ballantines blend as I am with an aged malt. But this is mass marketed (which can be forgiven) and above all, rank.
