The Irishman Irish Whiskey Founder's Reserve

 The aromas are tantalizing, sweet and creamy showing pepper, vanilla, dried fruits, malt, honey, toasted nuts and spice.

Nose: There is a lot of candy on the nose! Very fruity as well. Quite light and enjoyable.Taste: Nice! More candy. A mix of different sweet fruits together with some sweet white pepper. Full and rich.Finish: In the end there was still the white pepper and the fruitiness. It was full and rich, but also quite light.

Balance: This was a very good balanced whiskey. The fruit, the candy and the white pepper made a good combination. And I have to admit that this was a very complex and rich whiskey to be bottled at 40 ABV. I usually prefer higher ABV, but this one was really nice.

It is a blend of two styles, Single Malt and Single Pot Still.

The proportions used are 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still. This is unusual in itself, as it is the only Irish blended whiskey to contain 100% whiskey distillates from the copper pot still and 0% Grain or Column still whiskey.40% abv
