Lambay Single Malt is a triple-distilled Irish whiskey made with Trinity Well water from Lambay Island. It ages in malt whiskey casks before a Cognac cask finish influenced by the island’s sea air. Bottled at 40% ABV, it comes in a 750 ml format.
The finish is short, with tannic oak, flashes of salt and black pepper, and the Cognac influence shining through, offset though by a lasting bitterness.
While the result doesn't exactly sing of the salty sea, it's a pleasing sipper nonetheless, with a dark honey hue, bold, fruity aroma and drying palate mixing cedar with big, red apple bite and a long, robust vanilla-and-clove exit.
