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.
Was: £27.90Now: £24.98
This is actually one of the lighter expressions from WCD
I confess that I was sceptical that this would be a well branded but poor quality whiskey. But being a Pogues fan and as I was given a 5cl bottle for Free (!) I decided to tackle my fears head on! I'm pleased to say my concerns were unfounded. This is a very easy to drink, pleasant whiskey which at the price point is good value. I got a nice malty cereal, with toffee apples and a smooth finish.
Tried this at The Grapes in Goosnargh, a mellow delightful tot, perfect to savour after a meal. Very impressed thanks.
Fantastic
