Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

To create The Sexton, Alex paid considerable attention to the maturation process, which has resulted in an ideal balance between spirit and oak. She was fascinated by the whiskey-making process’s maturation phase, and her detailed work has resulted in a perfect balance between spirit and oak. Visual: beautiful legs when swirled, gorgeous copper colour (though cannot say if it’s due to aging, or because of additives) The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey is inspired by the long tradition of whiskey making on the North Coast of Ireland and consciously aged for four years in former Sherry butts to achieve a depth of flavor from the wine-imbued barrel that surpasses its years. Unexpected for a young single malt, The Sexton offers a perfect balance of rich, dried fruits and subtle oak notes, with a smooth finish that leaves you wanting more.” The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey price, ABV, age and other details Renowned for its lighter style and unparalleled smoothness, Irish whiskey is a versatile spirit worth getting to know.

As for what’s inside, perhaps owing to some of its unconventional production, this is indeed a rather unusual expression of Irish whiskey, even for a single malt. The nose is immediately a bit weedy, quite green and vegetal, but undercut with notes of savory spices — think rosemary, not cloves — and a slightly nutty, winey character. Give it some time, and the green character will fade a bit. I know I should like this. And I would like to say that I send only goodwill toward the sisterhood. But it’s like when I’m in barre class: Some women are really just not my type. This isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely not my favorite. I wanted to give it a 2, my co-taster said 3, so I’ll split the difference. Barrel ageing imparts a touch of caramel or butterscotch into the flavour, as well as woody notes, so seek out aged whiskeys if you particularly enjoy those qualities. Normally, I can tell you what I’m tasting. Here, there are so many different dimensions, it’s difficult to describe. I have warmth, dried fruit, leather, tobacco, and goodness knows what else. All told, this is an Irish that drinks more like a young single malt Scotch than almost any other Irish whiskey I can think of. Whether that is a good or a bad thing, well, is up to you.

You are here: Home / Irish / The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review Single pot still Irish whiskey: Unique to Ireland, Irish pot still whiskeys feature a minimum of 30% malted and 30% unmalted barley. Rich and bold, they're better suited to veteran whiskey drinkers than beginners. On the palate, the whiskey is more straightforward and quite charming. Bold nougat and spice notes round out a palate rich with nutty almond, toasty malt, and hints of cocoa powder, which linger far longer than expected. The finish sees some more of that winey character hanging about, which, along with the nutty elements, is the only real indication that this has been aged in sherry casks.
