Detailed Description

Slieve Foy 8 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Odors of dry forest moss and green hay mingle with a lightly herbaceous note. On this finish, it’s earthy and lightly woodsy, like the light underbrush near an orange tree.
Palate: This single malt is bitter, herbaceous, but delightfully so. It’s grassy, with flavors of hard candy, Pernod, and dry rosemary bark.
Finish: This pleasant, refreshing, spicy, and lightly woodsy finish lingers for a long time.
