Tyrconnell could indeed pass for a Lowland single malt. I agree with you, Boss; that's an overlooked and underappreciated style. There's a recent Signatory Vintage release of 15-year old Rosebank (distilled in 1991) that's to die for. Not too expensive and perhaps the last of its kind, any Lowland fan should check it out.

I am impressed with Tyrconell. They have cask-strength special editions that are really very good. It reminds me a bit of the Arran malt.

The Madeira finish is particularly good.

I recently tried and enjoyed a dram of Tyrconell.

I'll be adding a bottle to my own bar in the next week or two.

I'm not familiar with their cask-strength editions - are these a commonly available item? I'm guessing UK only?

Hi TP, I'm not sure about the UK, but they are available here in Ireland. I think they are also available in Germany.

Pulled out my bottle purchased about 4 years ago....

"body of a Lowland Scotch, with an elegant Sherry note, mingled with the fruitiness of the Port."

I agree...that seems a very fair description. I do almost get a bourbon-lowland Scotch combo taste. Maybe I will try a mix Glenlivet with Makers Mark....it may approach the profile.

I think most tasters will fall into either "mildly like it" or dislike it camps. For the price, I don't think I will buy it again...but it was an interesting idea.

If your looking for a wonderful Irish Whiskey that's light and gentle, try the Knappogue Castle.
