Tasting Notes

Nose

Green cut grass and orchard honey open the nose, followed by a wave of vanilla and gentle dried fruit. There is an appealing freshness — almost dewy — with a suggestion of almond beneath.

Palate

Creamy and delicate, with flavors of peach, buttery shortbread, and a flicker of clove spice. The mouthfeel is medium-weight, coating the tongue evenly before a subtle woody dryness emerges.

Finish

Moderate length with lingering peach, fading honey, and gentle oak tannins. The final note is floral and quiet.

The Dublin Liberties Murder Lane 13 Year Old Irish Whiskey

The Dublin Liberties

Murder Lane 13 Year Old is a brooding, contemplative Irish single malt that trades the category's typical brightness for smoldering depth. The extended maturation has produced a whiskey of genuine complexity, with dark fruit and wood spice in beautiful balance. It's the kind of dram that asks you to sit quietly and simply feel its warmth — words can wait.

The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey Bourbon Cask Matured

The Quiet Man

The Quiet Man lives up to its name with a whiskey that values restraint over spectacle. It demonstrates how careful bourbon-cask maturation can produce something luminous in its clarity — an Irish blend that makes transparency feel like a deliberate art. An ideal daily pour that rewards attentive, unhurried sipping.

Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength

Keeper's Heart

Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.

The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

The Dubliner

This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
