"These are exciting times for Irish whiskey. The nation's distillery count has exploded in recent years, paving the way for innovation and outside-of-the-box thinking. Enter this thought-provoking single grain whiskey, made from a mash bill of 95 percent French maize (a cousin of sweet corn) and 5 percent malted barley. Cake frosting and lemon zest kick off a lively nose, while the influence of the sweet Madeira casks used for finishing comes to the fore on the palate. At 50 percent ABV, this is a bold and balanced outlier in the Irish whiskey space."
