Hyde No.6 Presidents Reserve Blended Irish Whiskey (700ml)

A blend of 18 year old single malt combined with 8 year old grain whiskey, finished in a sherry cask. This took out the award for top Irish blend at the 2018 World Whisky Awards in the UK.

Tasting note: [from a 20ml sample] Brilliant polished gold. The delicate, medium-sweet fragrance suggests shortbread and dustings of milk chocolate, wild honey and vanilla wafer. Develops hints of dried fruits (apricot / dates)? Lovely poise and grace, opening floral soft. Flavours of Toblerone bar rounded off with a superb, oily, pot still flourish. Pure, precise and long. Whiskey with the structure of a fine wine. 46% Alc./Vol.
