Besides aging a bit longer, the only way they could make The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey better is if they didn’t skimp on it and bottled it at least at 46% and non-chill filtered.

Another nice feature is the fonts used on the silver and gold labelling on the bottle which conjures up images of smoky bars in the 1800s and does look rather smart.

While Scotch may still wear the crown today, the pioneering efforts of Emerald Isle distilleries have led to a recent resurgence in popularity. Bourbon barrels are commonly used, but to get to grips with this diverse dram, we suggest trying those aged in sherry, rum and double-charred casks too.It is relatively smooth, but it still delivers a nice fruity punch due to the sherry cask maturation, mainly evident in the finish. In doing things differently, we want to celebrate those who are also forging their own path and leaving their mark on the world. I’m hoping that this stuff is a big success and it prompts them to take the route of other distilleries and do a higher-proof, NCF (as you mentioned) release, and then eventually a barrel proof/strength or single-barrel release. Portland’s a great whiskey town: It fits the weather and my general mood (even improves it sometimes).

With 12, 30ml bottles, it offers a pleasing array of some top choices, including one that made it onto this list elsewhere: the Teeling small batch. As The Official Whiskey of The Walking Dead, we are excited to connect with the show’s monumental and loyal followers over the highly anticipated final season and offer them fan-focused experiences and limited-edition retail merchandise unique to our partnership.

Also, the Sexton apparently comes from the same location and brand ownership as Bushmills: a company named Proximo. Aged in oloroso sherry butts to achieve a depth of flavour from the wine-imbued barrel that surpasses its years. As the second-most-expensive choice we tried, we expected big things from this grandly-named bottle, and we weren’t disappointed. This led to Alex becoming fully qualified with a distillation diploma in 2012 before pushing ahead with the task of building The Sexton brand. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously.I was first lured in with the crazy looking bottle and the macabre gothy label but it was the fact it was a sherried Irish single malt that voodoo’d me to take it home. Sexton have developed a liquid that is perfect for mixing – it's both super smooth and bursting with intense fruity, spicy flavours.

We gave bonus points for particularly distinctive, descriptive or intriguing packaging, especially as Irish whiskey presents more of an interesting variety than some (*cough* Japan *cough*). With the dawn of a new year almost upon us, we all have an opportunity to reward ourselves for getting through this trying time and look forward to what will hopefully be a much better 2021.
