Method and Madness Single Grain Irish Whiskey represents a $85 proposition in the evolving Irish whiskey landscape.
Palate
This variation of the Method and Madness flagship I tasted and felt it left something to be desired compared to the other expressions. This whiskey tries to be a lot of things, but by extension tries to be too many things. I want to be very clear, it is an enjoyable whiskey that I, if offered, would not turn down. However, after the initial burst of flavor, the palate lacks endurance or completion. With so many good offerings from Method and Madness, there are other places to go first.
Finish
No age statement; matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in virgin Spanish oak casks; 92 proof (46% ABV); $85. Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by Whiskeyful or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
Verdict
Method and Madness Single Grain Irish Whiskey is a modest offering that, at $85, serves its purpose without distinction. Those seeking depth or complexity may wish to look elsewhere in this price bracket.
