This complex whiskey smells lush and sweet, though the palate is less so, reading as hoppy and darkly spiced with clove and allspice. Adding water frames it with cocoa, citrus and espresso bitterness. What's in the glass is a mix of malt and grain Irish whiskeys, finished in an ex-oloroso Sherry barrel that was filled with Boyne Brewhouse Imperial Stout, then emptied to finish the whiskey.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
