Score: 92 Points

Single Pot Still whiskey is uniquely Irish in character, and comes from a mash of malted and unmalted barley. The nose on Clonakilty’s debut Single Pot Still whiskey has touches of vanilla, brown sugar, kiwi fruit, citrus, and a hint of caramel. The taste has wood spices balanced by tree fruits, dark chocolate, salted caramel, and orange peel. The finish is long with touches of salted caramel, honey, and vanilla. (November, 2024)
