A little background:
I’m an Irish man who lived in Scotland for a long time and developed a penchant for good Scottish whisky.
I’ve since moved back to Ireland and am on a quest to find good Irish whiskey.
I’ve been looking for double distilled, single pot (or single malt) and have found a couple of nice ones, though this is somewhat counter to the Irish market which favours triple distilled and has (imo) a narrower taste profile, especially when compared to scotch.
Currently drinking: Shortcross rye and barley
Its really pleasant and quite different to the traditional Jameson/bush. There’s a bit of depth to it, some spice from the rye and a lovely classic malty finish.
Any other whisky enjoyers out there ?
