Hyde6YearOldNo.7SingleMaltIrishWhiskey(700mL)

<p>Oloroso Sherry casks do wondrous things with Single Malt Whiskies, and Hyde No. 7 does it on the Irish side. </p><p><em>Hibernia Distillers</em> is fairly new, being founded in 2014 by brothers <em>Conor </em>and <em>Alan Hyde</em> in the wee town of Skibbereen, Ireland. But in a few short years this small-town maker of traditional Single Malt and Single Grain Irish Whiskey is <em>rocking the world</em> with products available in fifteen countries and an early, hard-won reputation for creating a <em>line of seven amazing, aromatic, award-winning examples</em> of liquid Irish pride.</p><p><em>Hyde No. 7</em> is a 6 year-old Irish Single Malt. It was distilled using a copper pot still and aged from start to finish in <em>first-fill</em> <em>Oloroso Sherry hogshead casks</em>. And it is bottled without additives or chill-filtration at a spot-on perfect 46% ABV.</p><p>Those are some lovely statistics, but the proof is always in the dram. And in that bottle you will find <em>everything you love </em>about Sherried Irish Whiskey — rich notes of oranges and chocolate truffles over a base of stone fruits. A happy day ensues.</p>
