Review of
Samuel Gelston's Single Pot Still Irish
Whiskey, a new young single pot still
whiskey which is priced way below the
long established pot still whiskey
currently available.
 Following
on from my review of
Samuel Gelston's Blended Irish Whiskey
I have moved up the range to the very
keenly priced Samuel Gelston's Single
Pot Still Irish Whiskey.
The resurrected Samuel Gelston's Irish
whiskey brand is a Belfast based whiskey
brand, there is no Samuel Gelston
distillery although this may change in
the future, for now Samuel Gleston's
whiskeys are sourced from the Great
Northern Distillery in Dundalk Co.
Louth, Ireland.
The whiskey in Samuel Gelston's
Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey would
have been sourced from the Great
Northern Distillery in Dundalk Co.
Louth, Ireland, which itself only went
into production in 2015 which gives a
clue to the maximum possible age of this
pot still whiskey.
This was distilled with a mash bill of
50% Malted Barley & 50% Unmalted Barley
then 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

Malt
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Some coconut ice and a little sweet
vanilla fudge infused with a gentle,
slightly candied, lemon citrus. A wee
touch of fresh oak and pot still spice
lurks in the background.
Taste:
A little youthful spiritiness. A
delicate bitter sweetness, honey, lemon
and a wee touch of orange citrus, coconut
oil, all with a wee spicy,
nutty, oaky edge.
Finish:
Still a little youthful spiritiness, the
honey, lemon citrus and coconut bows out
quickly leaving some lovely gentle oak
and pot still spice lingering for a
little longer before bittering out.
Comment: A lovely gentle nose, in the mouth this has a
wee touch of young spiritiness about it
which wasn't announced by the nose, a
young pot still whiskey for sure but
still an easy drinking enjoyable bourbon
cask matured dram with a nice wee touch
of pot still spice and bourbon cask
influence.
I
picked my bottle up on offer in
Amazon
for £22 and for its price I cant
complain at all, I didn't expect a 12
year old. It is great to see some new
Irish single pot still whiskey's
entering the Irish Single Pot Still
marketplace, this expression wont be
taking any awards off of the likes of
the Redbreast 12 anytime soon but at
around half the price of the
Redbreast 12 it is still a great very drammable whiskey.
SMW Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Score 83/100
