High N’ Wicked Aeneas Coffey Single Grain Irish Whiskey Review
Irish whiskey is undergoing a resurgence, with the number of distilleries in the country on the rise. This is paving the way for innovation and experimentation in the industry. An example of this is this unique single grain whiskey, which is made from a mash bill of 95 percent French maize and 5 percent malted barley. The nose is lively, with hints of cake frosting and lemon zest, while the sweet Madeira casks used for finishing are evident on the palate. At 50 percent ABV, this bold and balanced whiskey is a standout in the category.
