It has an alcohol content of 86 proof (43% ABV), higher than the average Irish Whiskey bottled at 80 proof.

This release isn’t the first time that the distillers at Cooley have experimented with Madeira casks. In 2007, The Tyrconnell released a 10-year-old expression finished in Madeira as part of a permanent series that also uses Port and sherry casks. This, however, is the oldest Madeira-finished bottling the brand has put out, and it’s described as a limited release. On the tongue, there's an immediate sweetness and roundness that is very pleasant: shortbread or biscuits are definitely up front, but there is more to it than that -- the finish is light on burn but long on pleasant citrus notes, like lemon taffy. There's something like tart green apples; there's yeasty breadiness, like ripping open a fresh baguette. There are apricots (sulfured, but the sulfur is not pronounced or unpleasant). And that mouth feel is really exceptional -- it's not oily exactly, but syrupy. This has one of the best mouth feels of any whisky I've tasted.

Two new products from Ireland’s Tyrconnell are here, both single malts, both 10 years old, and both finished for 6 to 8 months in wine casks — one Port, one Sherry. The colour is a light honey. Crisp on the nose with violets, white chocolate, green apple and kumquat. Very grassy. Herbaceous with arugula and Italian parsley. Freshly sawn pine. Toasted almonds. Lemon zest. Water brings out earthier notes, like freshly cut grass. A very elegant single malt, and unmistakably Irish.

In this personal blog, I share my knowledge and insights on Whisky, Whiskey & Bourbon and other spirits, drawing from my 30 years of extensive experience. Grassy hay like malt, toasted grains and a burnt sweetness coat the mouth along with notes of pit fruit, caramel, toasted bananas, vanilla, toffee and cocoa. Like the nose it’s a bit spirity at moments which, combined with the cloying burnt sweetness, creates a flavor that I kida like and kinda don’t. It’s odd.

These experiences have honed my palate and provided me with a profound understanding of the vast world of spirits. There’s a light caramel touch, and the whiskey leaves almost no warmth as it goes down. Is it smoky? The Tyrconnell is a historic brand of Irish whiskey that has been revived by the Cooley Distillery owned by Beam Suntory. The Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey is double distilled at the Cooley Distillery, County Louth, from a mash of malted Irish barley, then aged for a undisclosed number of years in seasoned oak barrels. Bottled at 80 Proof (40% ABV) in a tall, distinguished bottle with a cork stopper, the whiskey’s appearance calls attention to its tradition. It awakens like a golden dawn in the glass, with malty scents of sun-warmed grain and a characteristic sweetness blending vanilla red raspberries and fresh citrus. The taste scatters berries about a bowl of summer citrus drizzled with honeyed malt, and fades away with a sweet and lingering memory of the fruit in an ascendant malty richness.Find sources: "Tyrconnell"whiskey– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( December 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)

The Tyrconnell has no age statement, but it is a single malt, and bottled at 40%. That's a bit light on the alcohol when compared to many Scotch whiskies.

Whisky reviews for Tyrconnell Single Malt

The Nose: Soft, floral, and fruity nose. Light molasses and creamy grain balance well with red delicious apples and tart lemon icing on lemon-vanilla cake. Just a touch spirit-y, not off-putting though, it comes across as a subtle hint of candied licorice beneath the stronger notes. Whiskybase B.V.
