Review of
Samuel Gelston's Single Malt Irish
Whiskey, a young single malt but priced
inline with its age and the honey notes
and oak spice still make it an enjoyable
dram and one that wont break the bank.
 Samuel
Gelston's Single Malt Irish whiskey is a
young no age statement whiskey, around 4
year old I have been told, which has
been matured in American ex-bourbon
casks.
The resurrected Samuel Gelston's Irish
whiskey brand is a Belfast based whiskey
brand, there is no Samuel Gelston's
distillery, yet, but I have been told
that they are currently looking for a
substantial location in Belfast to build
a distillery so it is a brand that will
not be disappearing again any time soon.
For now Samuel Gelston's whiskeys are
sourced from the Great Northern
Distillery in Dundalk Co. Louth, Ireland
and then matured in Northern Ireland.
As I said this one has been matured in ex-bourbon Casks before
being bottle at 40% ABV.
You will find
Samuel Gelston's Single Pot Still
Irish Whiskey as well as the rest of
Samuel Gelston's whiskey range available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
Amazon and
Master of
Malt
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Some honey and vanilla, a wee touch of
spice and a wee bit spirity, a touch of
citrus lurking in the background.
Taste:
Some youthful new make spiritiness.
A little oiled maltiness, honey, spiced
caramel and a little late orange zest.
Finish:
The gentle honey has stayed the
distance, slightly drying oak spice
peaks before bowing out in a slightly
bittering end..
Comment: Certainly a young malt whiskey with a bit of a
personality of new make spirit, the
honey and oak spice still make it an
enjoyable dram and it wont break the
bank.
