Tyrconnell began as a racehorse, a legend in 1876 that beat 100 to 1 odds. Today, that same underdog spirit lives on in this elegant 16 year old single malt. Matured entirely in American oak, it’s a whisky that takes its time, slow aged, gracefully balanced, and quietly powerful. No flash, no fuss. Just classic Irish character at its absolute best.

Tyrconnell 16 Year Old Irish Single Malt 70cl
Brand: Tyrconnell | Category: Single Malt Irish Whiskey
ABV: 46% | Origin: Ireland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Soft golden apple and honeyed pear, with vanilla fudge and a touch of roasted almond. Like walking into an old bakery at sunrise.
Palate: Rich yet graceful, flavors unfold gently: peach cobbler, malted biscuit, and warm oak spice, with a whisper of tropical fruit. Smooth, oily texture that glides across the tongue.
Finish: Long and clean, with a lingering note of orchard fruit, gentle oak tannin, and soft cinnamon warmth.

Production Details
This 16-year-old single malt is triple distilled and matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels. No wine or sherry finishes here, just a pure showcase of aged Irish malt, refined through time and oak alone. Bottled at 46% ABV, it’s non-chill filtered to retain its natural depth.

Perfect For
Savoring at dusk, when the day’s noise fades. Ideal for those who appreciate understated complexity, not the loudest whisky in the room, but maybe the smartest. A contemplative dram for moments of quiet celebration.

Interesting Fact
The Tyrconnell brand dates back to the 1800s and was revived by the Cooley Distillery. The label still bears the image of the original racehorse, a chestnut champion whose unlikely victory lives on with every bottle.

Serving Suggestions
Neat or with just a touch of still water. Best enjoyed in a tulip glass to fully appreciate the delicate fruit and oak interplay. Try pairing it with roasted cashews or a slice of mild Irish cheddar.
