Hyde 10 Year Old No. 1 President’s Cask
Hyde 10 Year Old No. 1 President’s Cask is limited edition single malt Irish whiskey, released by Hibernia Distillers. This expression takes its name from Douglas Hyde, who served as the first President of Ireland from 1938 to 1945. The whiskey comes from one Irish distillery (as said, it’s a single malt) and which was initially matured in bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period in first fill Oloroso Sherry casks. It’s bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration.
Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey is a single grain Irish whiskey, initially matured in American bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period of six months in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. This comes bottled at 42% ABV, brought down to this strength by Wicklow mountain water. A rather tasty release presented by Glendalough, rich in vanilla, caramel, Christmas spices and dried fruit notes.
Single malt whiskey from Ireland matured in first fill bourbon barrels. It’s supposedly non-chill filtered at 40% abv, so don’t be surprised if it throws a cloudy haze in the bottle even at room temperature. (Don’t worry though – that just means all the good stuff has been left in!)
EXTRA!
An Irish Whiskey from the band The Pogues and West Cork Distillers (not to be confused with the American whiskey Old Pogue). The Pogues Whiskey is said to have the highest malt content of any blended Irish whiskey and it was developed by Barry Walsh and Frank McHardy. The bells will certainly be ringing out for this one!
