FLIGHT FEE $15
As we adopt or embrace all things Irish, lets reach for a smart pour of Uisge Beatha (the water of life) and raise our glasses with a single cheer, Slàinte Mhath!!
- The Sexton Single Malt (BIN 611, Proof 80)
Take a deep breath and pull in notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and toasted merengue. Classic flavors of honey, lemon, and light oak greet your first sip, but rich fruity notes of prunes and apricot develop (probably from aging in Oloroso sherry casks). - Dead Rabbit 5yr (BIN 533, Proof 88)
This is a perfect example that blending good whiskies makes good blended whiskey. 5 years maturing in ex-bourbon barrels gives the nose some toasted oak and extra caramel, but there is also some apricot, cherry, and baking spice. Honey, vanilla, and oak lead the flavor profile, but baked fruit pie is what develops before turning into a cinnamon and clove syrup. - Tipperary Boutique Old Homegrown Single Malt (BIN 601, Proof 100)
When there is only one grain in a whiskey, who better to craft it than the farm itself? The nose is rich for an Irish whiskey with honey, pear, and vanilla extract leading the way. The palate is filled with bakery flavors of almond, currants, honey, shortbread, vanilla icing, and touch of coconut. At 100 proof this is a bold and balanced Irish!
The New York Whiskey Flight
FLIGHT FEE $16
American single malts are becoming the most exciting part of the craft distilling boom. Barley varietals offer a unique take specific to regional terroir, but the use of new charred oak for aging is what brings additional richness beyond Scotch and Irish single malts.
- Pine Barrens American Single Malt – Baiting Hollow, NY (BIN 613, Proof 95)
Distilled from a bottle-ready barley wine beer (brewed on-site) brings a uniquely American approach to a classic style. Notes of citrusy hops jump to the forefront, followed by graham cracker maltiness. Flavor wise, look for an immediate hit of terpenes (from the hops) followed by a smooth sip of malt with some pops of baking spices, caramel sweetness, a rich but vegetal finish. - Ironweed Straight Malt – Albany, NY (BIN 608, Proof 86)
With a mashbill of 60% malted barley, 20% wheat, and 20% oat this isn’t a single malt, but NY grain focused malt whiskey is worth the sip. The nose has a bright citrus with some creamy oat and a slight coconut sweetness. The palate is super creamy like a vanilla milkshake with additional flavors of spiced apple rings, honey, oats, and graham cracker. - Tenmile Little Rest Classic American Single Malt – Wassaic, NY (BIN 614, Proof 92)
This smells like a malted milkshake dusted with cinnamon and topped with bright red cherry! Classic single malt notes greet you on first sip with shortbread and toffee. Notes of dried fruits drizzled with honey make for a beautiful finish.
