TheIrishmanTheHarvest(700mL)

<p>The first blend from Walsh and one of the best with an earthy combination of Single Malt and Single Pot Still Spirits. </p><p><em>Walsh Whiskey</em> set out to rediscover real Irish-style Whiskey as it was made 200 years ago. When Walsh Whiskey first started in 1999, they contracted their distilling to Bushmills. But their success has allowed them <em>to build out their own distillery</em> in Carlow — in the heart of Ireland’s southern farm country — where they make eight versions of <em>The Irishman Whiskeys</em>, six <em>Writer’s Tears blends</em>, and two varieties of <em>Irish Cream Liqueur</em>.</p><p>The <em>Irishman The Harvest </em>is the first blend created by <em>Bernard Walsh</em>, and it is still one of their best and one of the most unique coming out of the Irish craft distilling market. It is a <em>blend </em>of 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still Spirits aged in <em>ex-Bourbon casks</em>. This twist on a classic adds a <em>very nice layered complexity</em> and a bit of grain spice that makes this dram a stand-out. It is also a <em>multi-award-winner</em> with Gold Medals dripping off the bottle like honey.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>“Single Malt” is a distillation of 100% malted barley from a single distillery, “Single Pot Still” also comes from a single distillery, but the mash consists of a combination of malted and un-malted barley.</em></p><p><p><em>*The Irishman has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.</em></p>
