The Irishman Cask Strength 2019 Vintage
(0.75l, 54%)
A powerful Irishman limited edition at full cask strength loveliness.
Walsh Whiskey 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 to build out their own distillery in Carlow — in the heart of Ireland’s southern farm country — where they make eight versions of The Irishman Whiskies, six Writer’s Tears blends, and two varieties of Irish Cream Liqueur.
Sometimes a distillery will come out with a “limited edition” that is all marketing hype. We’re not saying it’s not good stuff, not at all. We’re saying that sometimes “limited edition” means “limited to how much we can get you to buy.”
Then you have drams like The Irishman Vintage Cask 2019. Each year over the last eleven years they have assembled their very special “Vintage Cask” series by finding rare, old Spirits and letting you have ‘em as is. Since there are only so many of these casks, you only get so many bottles. In this case that means 2,346 bottles exactly. And while that might sound like a lot, it’s less than 200 cases of this blended Irish Whiskey that is a little bit pot still, a little bit Single Malt, and 100% fabulous at 54% ABV.

There are many Irish Whiskey varieties: grain Whiskey, malted barley pot-still-distilled, and ‘pure pot-still’ or ‘single pot still’ as it is now officially known. Then there is Poitin, one of the first spirits ever made.
Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Golden Copper
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is firm and polished with notes of vanilla toffee, marzipan, warm saddle leather, and baking spices.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
At full strength (neat) it pushes you forward with rich Highland florals, toasted oak, roasted herbs, butterscotch and dried apricots. With a bit of water the palate opens up with granola clusters.
Finish
The finish is long and telling with lingering memory of the wood.
