An Irish Whiskey from the Celtic punk band The Pogues and West Cork Distillers (not to be be confused with the American whiskey Old Pogue). Fronted by Shane McGowan, the band have released The Pogues Whiskey which is said to have the highest malt content of any blended Irish whiskey! It was developed by Barry Walsh and Frank McHardy. The bells will certainly be ringing out for this one!
Sweet-smelling malt with waves of toffee to follow.
Smooth and creamy, toffee, vanilla, touch of dark chocolate, with some peachy fruit.
Dark chocolate, fudge, vanilla.
The initial taste is smooth and reminiscent of the Spey Valley Scottish Whiskies. Holds well on the palate. However, the lingering bitter aftertaste on the top of the mouth is off-putting and this is an experiment not ready for market yet.
Very fecking nice
Absolutely the worst Irish Whiskey we have ever tasted. Corked taste (well it does come from Co Cork.) leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth. Made by amateurs and tastes like it.
Outstanding whisky, I was pleasantly surprised as I am a huge Pogues fan and thought it was just the name being used to sell it. Very smooth, hints of nuts and toffee apples with a beautiful lingering light smokiness.
What a great whiskey very smooth and enjoyable my new favourite cant wait to try more from this distillery hoping to sample the rum cask finish very soon
