J.J. Corry The Hanson is a blended grain Irish whiskey aged 5 to 11 years in American and bourbon casks from Tennessee and Kentucky. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is priced at about $58 for a 700ml bottle.
Clean, pure, clinical aromas of a boutique, with light lemon fondant, vanilla, and basil leaves. Icing sugar, lemon, almonds, and sweet rose-scented Turkish delight flavors develop into butterscotch, peppercorn, ginger, fudge, and banana, rounded off with ripe fruits, melted butter, dried apple, sherbet, raspberry taffy, and raspberry bubble gum.
Further sips reveal an almost chewy texture with vanilla, icing sugar, honey, toasted cereal flakes, dried apples, banana and something akin to graham crackers or biscuits (in the sweet UK sense of the word).
