Detailed Description
Double distilled and lightly peated, this single malt is aged in bourbon barrels. This brand was distilled at Cooley Distillery, but as Beam recently purchased that distillery, the whiskey is currently fighting for the right to still be made there. A lawsuit is pending, so if you like this whiskey, buy as much as you can while you can.
Michael Collins 10 Year Old Lightly Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: There is a pungent malty quality found along with sweet caramel, moss, and apples.
Palate: Peat smoke really comes through on the palate along with dried fruits.
Finish: The finish is of good length with more of a sweet finish than a bitter one. Wood spices are blended nicely throughout the whiskey.
