"The Sexton is a whiskey that puts effort into its sleek marketing. It's also probably the whisky that most aggressively tests our $30 barrier here, but it can still be found fairly easily at that price and under."
"Created by master blender Alex Thomas, it's made from 100% Irish malted barley. It's then triple-distilled and aged in sherry casks. It's that careful maturation that gives it a richness that is rare at this price point."
"Dried fruit is the most obvious aroma, but hints of dark chocolate and nuts impress. Honey is the most dominant sweet note on the palate, and you'll also enjoy a greater oak influence here than with many others."
The Irish whiskey market features well-known brands like Jameson and Bushmills, but many lesser-known whiskeys also deserve attention.
