Fercullen Falls Small Batch Blended Irish Whiskey Review
This whiskey fuses malt and grain distillates, the former matured in first-fill, ex-bourbon barrels, while the grain component rested in ex-bourbon and new charred oak casks. It’s another pick for simpler sipping occasions — an ideal companion to a nice, creamy Irish stout that continues to impress as it reveals ever more aromas of stone fruit, sweet oak, and prickly pepper heat. The palate never seeks to get too intellectual or complex, allowing a paired pint or simple food pairing to shine.
