The Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey

The Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a non-age statement (NAS) single malt produced at the Cooley Distillery in County Louth, Ireland (now part of the Kilbeggan Distilling Company). The brand's name and the horse depicted on the bottle pay homage to a successful racehorse from the 19th century. Notably, The Tyrconnell is double distilled, which is less common for Irish single malts (most are triple distilled) and is said to contribute to its unique character. It is matured exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels.  

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Produced at Cooley Distillery, County Louth, Ireland.   
• Single Malt: Made from 100% malted barley.   
• Double Distilled: A less common practice for Irish single malts.
• Maturation: Aged exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels.   
• ABV: Typically bottled at 43% ABV (though some older bottlings were at 40%).

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Often described as having bright citrus notes (lemon zest, orange pith) alongside honeyed cereal, melted butter, and a touch of oak. Some detect green apple skin and a light floral character.   
• Palate: Generally smooth and approachable with a honeyed sweetness and a creamy texture. Flavors of rich vanilla, soft fudge, and lemony citrus are common. A light spiciness (nutmeg, white pepper) and a hint of granary toast can also be present. 
• Finish: Typically has a relatively short to medium finish with lingering honey and malt notes, often with a touch of drying oak and a gentle spice.

Overall Impression:

The Tyrconnell Single Malt is considered an easy-drinking and enjoyable Irish single malt with a pleasant balance of sweetness, citrus, and subtle spice. The double distillation and bourbon cask maturation contribute to its distinct character. It's often recommended as a good value single malt and a solid introduction to the Irish whiskey category.   

Awards (based on various sources):

The Tyrconnell range, including the core single malt, has received several awards over the years:   

• Gold Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition (various years). 
• Gold Medal: World Whiskies Awards (various years, including for specific cask finishes).   
• Rated 93 points by Whisky Advocate.   
• Named Best Irish Single Malt at the Irish Whiskey Awards in 2018 and 2019 for the 10-Year-Old Port Cask Finish.
• The 10-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish was named Best Irish Single Malt at the 2013 World Whiskies Awards
