Following on from last months successful tasting in the Porterhouse the Cork Chapter now moves venue to the Oval to host an evening with The Irishman Whiskey.

This continues the development of the Cork Chapter and will provide a walkthrough of the range of wonderful whiskies bottled by The Irishman

A smaller venue this time so book early to avoid disappointment.

Votes		Place
Notes	Nose: A Zesty Spice, with hints of black pepper, cinnamon and peaches. A slight hint of vanilla too, with a suggestive savour of Green Apple. Palette: Pot Still Spice, malt, dark chocolate, bourbon oak, and crème caramel Finish: Everlasting finish with oak and butterscotch. Lingers for what seems like an eternity!

Notes	Nose: Ripe and fruity with luscious peach, dried apricot, and tropical fruits. Hints of orange blossom and vanilla fudge. Palette: Vanilla sweetness, granola, toasted almonds and honey, a little oak, digestive biscuits, apricots, and a hint of coca. Finish: Long lingering finish with a light maltiness and sweet oak. Not so much a finish, more of an encore.

3. The Irishman 12 year old Single Malt

ABV	40	Age	12
Type	Single Malt	Finish	-
Distillery	Walsh Whiskey Distillery	Region	Ireland
Distilled		Bottled
Votes		Place
Notes	Nose: From the exquisite aroma there is no mistaking the influence of the ex-Bourbon casks with the light sweet spicy notes of Vanilla, Cinnamon and even a tincture of Clove. All balanced with Apples and Pears, some charred wood and freshly cut hay. Palette: The initial sip is a burst of rich flavours, sweet with Vanilla delicately bolstered by Black Peppercorns, reluctantly giving way to a succulent fruity mid-section before slowly fading to leave a very satisfying grassy cereal conclusion. Finish: The fullness of the body fades quite quickly but leaves behind a lingering succulent flavour of Barley and Oak. A touch of creamy dairy fudge and Dark Chocolate adds to the complexity.

4. Writers Tears

ABV	40%	Age
Type	Pure pot still. 60% malt and 40% Pot Still (no grain).	Finish	-
Distillery	Walsh Whiskey Distillery	Region

Notes	his triple distilled, non-peated whiskey is matured and aged in American Oak bourbon casks. It has flashes of apple with hints of vanilla and honey over its distinctive Pot-Still base

Notes	Wonderful combination of soft bourbon notes with a light malty subplot. Following through with a creamy oak and spice that gives it magnificent superb complexity which balances its expressive strength.

6. The Irishman Cask Strength

Distillery	Walsh Whiskey Distillery	Region
Distilled		Bottled
Votes		Place
Notes	Nose: A wonderful combination of soft bourbon notes and a light malty subplot with a light sprinkling of ginger. Palette: Brilliant! Softly oiled, very lightly malted. The arrival of the drier oak offers a perfect bitter sweet foil. Finish: Long, chocolate, rich and sophisticatedly spiced.
