Don’t you dare think about making cocktails with this single malt whiskey, CharlesPassy writes.
The bottle: The Tyrconnell 16 Year Old Oloroso & Moscatel Cask Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey, $100
All of which brings us to the latest release from The Tyrconnell, an Irish whiskey whose history dates back to the 19th Century, although production was discontinued by the 1920s. The brand was revived in the late ’80s and has since become known for some of its distinctive and, yes, higher-end releases. It is now part of Beam Suntory STBFY, +0.80% the spirits conglomerate.
What we think about it: This is a pleasing mouthful of a whiskey, one that begs to be sipped slowly. We pick up the sweetness — the brand says you should taste notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and Champagne — but there’s a subtle dryness that kicks in as well. In short, this not your average Irish whiskey, which is often distinguished by its simple approachability. But that’s precisely the point.

I Am So Humbled to Be Considered Hot, and Hope to Be an Inspiration to OthersI wanted to take a moment to address my supporters, but I have to confess that I’m struggling to find the right words. I’m overwhelmed, which I hope you can understand. I live a relatively quiet life in a remote forest, so you can imagine my surprise when a drone-captured image of me eating a small child at the entrance of my cave went viral. I was doubly surprised that upon seeing the image, people on the internet concluded that they wanted to fuck me. Me, an immortal witch who has feasted on the bones of children for thousands of years? Me, an avowed cannibal and up-and-coming columnist at Jezebel and the Federalist?
