The Irishman 17 Year Old

This is an annual release, with each year's edition bringing subtle difference. If you're looking for a particular year's edition, please contact us to confirm current availability.

The Irishman 17 Year Old is a richly sherried Irish single malt, combining mature oak with dark fruit, nutty depth and dark chocolate. 

Sweet sherried raisins and fruit-cake richness lead the flavour profile, balanced by toasted oak and the distinctive nuttiness of Oloroso. Triple distillation provides the foundation for a whiskey whose character has developed through seventeen years in sherry wood.

This is a choice for drinkers who enjoy deeply sherried single malt, with plenty of fruit and oak to explore slowly.

Tasting notes:
Nose: The redolent sherry influence from the cask is what fills the senses. It's powerful, but not overpowering. A well-measured balance that's both sweet and deep, inviting you in like a roaring fire in the depths of winter.

Palate: Singular. You might even say, spectacular. And bursting with sherried notes. Imagine a cosy room, a roaring fire, that warm, welcoming feeling - that's just what this whiskey is. The toasted oak is unmistakable. Gentle, warming, alive with real character. And the oloroso sherry cask imbues deep red hues, matched only by dark succulent fruits – like steeped sherried raisins, or even a rich fruit cake. This complex, unexpected sweetness gives way to a nuttiness, and waves of dark chocolate, making every sip feel like the beginning of a whole new decadent story.
