Whisky Advocate: "Blends of single pot still and single malt Irish whiskey without grain deserve their own category, but there's no use crying about it. Roasted spices, Quaker Oats, light honey, and fresh apricot; a little reserved and demure. Golden honey sweetness, light citrus, green apple, peach pit, dried apricot, cereal notes, creamy vanilla, and a firm strand of pot still spiciness. Dry spice heat, citrus peel, and a dark vanilla aftertaste. (JM, Fall-2017)" K&L Notes: The elusive Writer's Tears Pot Still Irish Whiskey has been a darling of the w...

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Aged in former bourbon, sherry and Malaga casks, look for a deep orange-gold hue and inviting baked-pear aroma. The robust, spiced palate offers brown sugar, honey, golden raisins and vanilla-tinged baked pear. (KN)" (03/2017) Whisky Advocate: "It works like this: triple distilled single pot still whiskey matured in bourbon, sherry, and Malaga casks, which produce a complex drink with aromas of red fruits, spice, nutmeg-dusted custard tarts, blossom honey, dried raspberry, clotted cream, cracked black pepper, and sweet flowe...

Midleton's Very Rare vintage releases have skyrocketed in price in the last few years. Widely regarded as one of the finest Irish whiskies available, it's one of the few that has a reasonable claim to being worth the higher prices. We have of course done our best to keep the pricing as low as possible. While the average price has moved north of $300/bottle, we're holding strong at $250.

The West Cork Distillery started as a pet project by John O’ Connell, Denis McCarthy, and Ger McCarthy in 2003 in Union Hall, West Cork. In 2013, after much expansion, WCD moved to a larger distillery in Skibbereen, West Cork where it now resides. It now operates as only one of two independent distilleries in Ireland. That means they actually make their own whiskey that somehow, someway costs about the same as a bottle of 10-year-old Bushmills, despite the fact that they're an independent distillery with heaven knows how much debt and overhead to account...

91 points Whisky Advocate: "A heart of pot still spices, but this has oodles of complexity and depth with concentrated autumnal flavors of apple and blackberry cooked with brown sugar, then morello cherry, hazelnut, allspice, aged tobacco leaf, and worn leather. Mellow dark-toffee sweetness and cooked fruits carry the cinnamon and peppercorn, oak, and leather into a tongue-pounding finish. A slap in the chops—just what you want from a pot still whiskey.

92 points Whisky Advocate: "With a well-matured sherry cask character, this whiskey works beautifully paired with Belgian chocolates after a fine dinner. Rich dried fruits, molasses, prunes, black cherry, aromatic spice rubs, walnut oil, and savory juices on the nose. Luxuriant palate of raisin, stewed fruits, black coffee, treacle, pepper, and clove, with a slight savory return. It rounds off with toffee apple, Brazil nut, and a long finish of peppercorn. Another excellent barrel this year. (JM, Fall-2021)" K&L Notes: High proof, well aged, Irish Singl...

Whisky Advocate: "An Irish blend matured in used bourbon barrels and finished in Concannon Petite Sirah wine barrels. Very clean and fresh, with mouth-coating honeyed malt, vanilla, tropical fruit, and golden raisin. Fleeting, light oak finish. (Vol. 21, #1)" K&L Notes: The result of a teaming of Ireland's Cooley Distillery and Concannon Vineyards, this Irish Whiskey was distilled from malted barley and corn and initially aged in American Bourbon barrels. To impart a uniquely fruity character before bottling, it was then finished for a minimum of four m...

Clonakilty's Port Cask Finished Irish Whiskey is a premium blend of Irish malt and grain. Triple-distilled and subtly cut with water naturally filtered through the coastal rock formations surrounding the Atlantic Ocean warehouse. This whiskey is defined by its exceptional finish in port casks from the Douro Valley, infusing it with rich dark fruit notes and soft spice. Bottled at 43.6% ABV it starts with a nose showcasing freshness of sweet apples, ripe peaches, vanilla, and a hint of wood character in the background. The palate is treated to a symphony ...

Clonakilty's double-distilled premium Irish Single Malt is warehoused on the Atlantic coast, imbuing it with a distinctive maritime complexity. At 43.6% ABV, it unveils a nose of soft oak, sweet honey, and floral notes of plum and berries, creating an inviting aroma. The palate is treated to a blend of oak spice, touched with nuances of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and vanilla. The journey concludes with a finish dominated by drying spices that gradually give way to the creaminess of vanilla followed by a surprise ending note of blackcurrants and raspberries...

93 points Whisky Advocate: "This new permanent addition to the Redbreast range is partially matured in ruby port casks, which have helped the vitality and the complexity of the finished whiskey while still delivering a remarkable intensity of red berry fruit. Orange peel, pine cone, vanilla, and walnut on the nose. Raspberry, cherry, plums, and active spices like a wildfire across the tongue, with pepper and chile heightened by the strength and menthol late on the finish.

The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney sits on the shores of Lough Allen in rural Drumshanbo. They’ve been patiently distilling and maturing the first whisky coming out of Connacht province in Western Ireland for over a century. This traditional Single Pot Irish Whiskey is worth the wait. The blend of malted and unmalted Irish barley sees a bit of Barra Irish Oats as well for a creamy addition to the texture and added depth of flavor. Matured in first fill ex Bourbon and Oloroso casks this is a superb example of Ireland’s distilling renaissance.

90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Nice aromas of roasted nuts, nougat, light toffee, candy bar, mild oak and brown sugar. Entry is satiny smooth, honeyed and near lush in texture; the midpalate point brings in spicy notes, in particular, black pepper and clove. The malt component takes charge in the finish, bringing a keen graininess." (12/2008) K&L Notes: One of the best Irish Whiskies in the store. This wonderful, elegant, unpeated malt has rich complexity and great length.

There was a time when there were only two distilleries in Ireland; they were, for a while, owned by the same company. Then this small distillery opens up, staunchly independent, and starts doing things unheard of in Ireland. Instead of making traditional Irish whiskey (triple-distilled, non-smoky, and with a pot still whiskey component), they started making very scotch-like whiskey (double distilled, single malt, and sometimes very smoky). Nearly twenty years later, they’re still making Irish whiskey, and they’re still doing it their way. Made by Cooly...

95 points Whisky Advocate: "The thicker, air-dried staves of Castanea sativa have a lower density and greater porosity than American oak. The different wood breakdown products enhance the pot still style, bringing confectionery sweetness, dark prunes, and effusive lighter spices. It rolls out a thick red carpet of sweet spice, cinnamon, and clove, with more pot still weight than oak tannins.

Look for dark honey and clove, edging into tea, oak and cocoa midpalate. Apple freshness brightens the dry finish.

92 points Whisky Advocate: "Redbreast 12 year old is a classic pure pot still Irish whiskey; where can you go from there? This new 15 year old expression is more muscular (bottling at 46% and not chill filtering certainly helps), but there are trade-offs. It’s a bit closed on the nose (like a great Bordeaux wine that’s too young). I do enjoy the silky/oily texture, the bold resinous oak spice grip on the finish, and the rich nutty toffee, fig, black raspberry, chocolaty, chewy nougat throughout the palate.

Sugary sweet on the palate with vanilla sponge, lemon zest, and hints of plum initially, it's overturned by punchy pepper, clove, and ginger notes.
