Drumshanbo Tawny Port Cask Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Review
Using malted Irish barley, unmalted Irish barley, and Irish Barra oats, the Connacht-based Shed Distillery triple distills this whiskey on a pot still before fully aging the liquid for 7 years in tawny port casks. A spicy nose leads to a palate bursting with dark fruits, raspberries, cherries, and blackcurrant, with a long, silky finish. It would work wonders as a refined after-dinner drink — a perfect pairing with dark chocolate, cigars, or idle contemplation.
