Lingering orchard fruit, gentle vanilla — a quietly excellent everyday Irish

Expert Review

7/10

Triple-distilled single malt from malted barley, aged 12 years in ex-bourbon American oak. Originally a Bushmills-sourced bottling, now part of Castle Brands portfolio. 40%. A reliable, well-made entry-level Irish single malt that nails the fundamentals.
