Begun in the 1840s and established as a premium brand in the 1920s, this historic, single-pot still Irish whisky is finally available stateside. Created from a distillation of malted and un-malted barley and aged five to eight years in both used bourbon and Sherry wood, the result is very apple-driven and creamy, with a hint of sweet. It's easy-drinking, with a dry finish of honey and nuts.
