Sláinte Irish Whiskey represents a $37.99 proposition in the evolving Irish whiskey landscape.
Nose
This is a light golden straw yellow in color. Tiny droplets form on the side of the glass that turn into thin long legs.
Palate
First impressions are those of a breakfast pastry, I think of apple danishes in particular, with apple, yeast, and mild baking spice. There are some subtle notes of sweet red fruit and chocolate. I get caramel and apple up front, this is certainly on the sweet end of the whiskey spectrum. This doesnt seem to have any transition from the front of the palate to the finish. The finish has a sulphury quality with white pepper. Nothing unpleasant about it, but pretty straight forward
Finish
This is a sweeter Irish whiskey that drinks rather nicely. One of the better whiskeys I’ve seen released by a famous person entering the world of spirits. Certainly worth trying if you enjoy sweeter Irish whiskey, and you get the bonus of contributing money to Ukraine.
Verdict
Sláinte Irish Whiskey delivers a thoroughly accomplished whiskey that justifies its $37.99 price point. It is well-crafted, balanced, and worthy of a place in any considered collection.
