Whisky Fassle Irish Malt XO
$314.99
No age statement here, but a rather high price point. Being as we know Whisky-Fassle as reputable (and absolutely willing to offer up great old drams at prices that almost always align with quality!), let's assume this has a very healthy proportion of older Irish Malt in the mix. And...uh...they do call it 'extra old' after all.
This one caused quite a stir at a recent tasting here in town. The price is high, but the quality is even higher. Definitely worth snapping up before it's too late.

Tyrconnell Port Cask
$97.99
Bottled after 10 years of age at 46%, the whisky was matured in Ex-Bourbon and finished in port wine casks.
Producer Description: "After a decade resting in bourbon barrels, The Tyrconnell® Port Cask Finish is transitioned into port wine casks from the Duoro Valley in Portugal for an additional 6-8 months of aging. Bottled at 92 proof, the additional time spent in hand-selected port casks gives this single malt whiskey a nose that evokes baked apples and notes of roots. A warm sweetness recedes, allowing a finish characterized by a multitude of spices to move to the forefront."
Tyrconnell 16 Year
$124.99
Bottled after 16 years at 46%, it was matured in Ex-Bourbon barrels.
Producer Description: "The Tyrconnell® 16 Year Old is the highly anticipated limited release expression that builds on the legacy of the original incarnation of The Tyrconnell®. This is the result of sixteen years spent in bourbon barrels, and the first general release of an aged expression of this magnitude. The nose evokes citrus with underlying notes of oak, then the palate reveals a light and approachable taste."
91pts Whisky Advocate: "Whiskeys made from 100% Irish barley are not abundant, so at sweet sixteen, there is much to celebrate about this grown-up version of Tyrconnell. Honey, pear, crème brûlée, clementine peel, tinned peach, and pencil shavings on the nose. Citrus, candied peel, lemon, and grapefruit mingle among the sweetness, but it’s anchored by layered spices and rounds out with a finish of juicy spiced oranges and peach. Moreish and delicious."
Tyrconnell Madeira Cask
$97.99
Matured 10 years in Ex-Bourbon before finishing in Madeira wine casks. The whisky was bottled at 46%.
Producer Description: "This version of The Tyrconnell® is aged 10 years, then is finished in casks previously used to age Madeira, a fortified wine hailing from a group of islands off the coast of Portugal. Bottled at 92 proof to bring out the flavour nuances of its casks, The Tyrconnell®Madeira Cask Finish begins with a salty, red fruit flavour-filled nose before finishing dry, with prominent notes of cocoa, caramel, and allspice."
