Michael Collins 10 Irish Single Malt

Country: Ireland

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Sidney Frank

ABV: 40%

Score: 84 Points

This is the second-generation Michael Collins single malt, and is the first to carry an age statement. The nose is nutty and clean, with almonds, straw, vanilla, and cocoa. The taste has a spicy buildup of black pepper, but is muted by vanilla, peaches, and pears with a hint of caramel candy. The caramel candy note carries into the relatively short finish with a touch of brown sugar.
