A lovely Irish Single Malt aged for six years in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in Caribbean Rum barrels.

Hibernia Distillers is fairly new, being founded in 2014 by brothers Conor and Alan Hyde 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 rocking the world with products available in fifteen countries and an early, hard-won reputation for creating a line of seven amazing, aromatic, award-winning examples of liquid Irish pride.

Hyde No.4 6 YO Rum Finish has just about all the information you need right there in the name. A part of the core President’s Cask line up, it is a pure Single Malt Irish Whiskey aged fro six years in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in ex-Rum casks sourced from the Caribbean. This gem is bottled at a perfect 46% ABV without chill-filtration (as it should be). The result is a malty, pure Irish experience with the influence of exotic fruits and Tropical spices.

Smartass Corner:
Douglas Hyde was the first President of Ireland, serving from 1938 through 1945 and a relative of the founders of Hyde Whiskey. The Hyde President’s Cask line of Irish Whiskeys is named after him.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Hyde 6 Year Old No. 4 Rum Cask Finish
Alex
Alex,
I’m glad I got try this. It is very skunked and has a strong taste. I had to use the flavor spiral for insight on it, and certainly I can taste the toffee. Needed a bit of water to open it up and lighten the boldness. I can see how this is a reserve for a select bunch. This is probably best drunk in dark library lit by a fireplace in an old leather chair surrounded by mahogany furniture and many leather bound books. I wish I was fancy enough to fully enjoy.
 
Mark
Mark,
Woody. You can really taste the cask. Would not drink again.
 
Jesse
Jesse,
Not a fan of the rum cask finish
 
Michael
Michael,
Drank this neat. Normally I do not finish a sample neat. It was gone way too quickly. Smooth. Why is this not an essential option? Bad Flaviar, BAD!
 
Darin
Darin,
It was easy to drink, definitely picked up the cinnamon
 
Mathew
Mathew,
This has a lovely vanilla nose, but opens with a bitter tea flavor and ends with fire and a hint of allspice. There are other Irish whiskeys I love and other rum cask finished favorites. Something has gone very wrong here.
 
Chris
Chris,
Other than a bit of raisin on the end, not really getting the rum here, but another delightful Irish dram
 
MICHAEL
MICHAEL,
Creamy, warm, delicate mouth feel.
 
Derek
Derek,
Nope...couldn’t finish the sample. Can’t pinpoint the flavor that is off putting. Maybe the rum cask finish. Not a good flavor. Have liked other Hyde products. Would not purchase.
 
Amy
Amy,
I haven't had rum in ages, and the aging process really infuses this whiskey with all the sweetness of rum while still being sophisticated.
 
Craig
Craig,
This is a real treat! I detected chocolate and vanilla on the nose. Sweet, earthy, fruity, spicy, and chocolate notes. Smooth, warming finish. Will definitely try this again.
 
Ric
Ric,
Rich and spicy complexity. Loved this whiskey
 
Jamie
Jamie,
For all the flavors, none really jump out. A bit of bite, spice. It’s okay but not worth buying for the price I see on here.
 
Terry
Terry,
Really liked it, despite what others reported. To each his own.
 
Jim
Jim,
Great flavor
 
Audrey
Audrey,
Undrinkable. Got it in a taster box. Tried to get past the mustiness to taste what might be drinkable. Nope. We both hated it.
 
Shane
Shane,
What can I say... I do like a good rum cask finish whisky but not this this whiskey. It shows promise but it needs more age or something. I just cant get down with the flavor profile. Also the nose was immediately unpleasant to me at least. Sorry Hyde 6yo.. #notforme
 
Laura
Laura,
Single note all the way through
 
Todd
Todd,
Unusual nose and taste. Not a drain pour but I would not do again.
 
Brian
Brian,
This is a really nice, smooth whiskey, start to finish. Need to find me a bottle! Will definitely look for it next trip to Ireland.
 
Steven
Steven,
The spice notes translate to smokiness. This is less smooth than other Irish whiskeys.
 
Adam
Adam,
Distinct vanilla flavor. Quite drinkable.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Good taste, do not add water!!!!! A good finish decent heartiness.
 
Scott
Scott,
A tad sweeter than a typical Irish whiskey.
 
Steven
Steven,
I can taste the biscuit and toffee notes. This has a smooth, creamy finish. I’ve had a few other Hyde whiskeys before. My favorite is 6-year No.3, but this bottle is very good. This came in the Irish tasting box. This wouldn’t be my first choice when spending $70+ on a bottle, but so far, this Irish tasting box has been very good.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, intense, Single Malt Irish Whiskey that has an aromatic birth; while an elegant life leads to a woody death of medium length with notes of cinnamon, figs, coriander & fresh-baked bread.
 
Luis
Luis,
Smoky. Sweet. Delectable. Easy drinking...
 
Robert
Robert,
This was ok, the flavors did not exactly jump out. It was not bad but there is better out there.
