Kellan Irish Whiskey 40% (2009)

Independent Cooley Whiskey tasting notes

Kellan Irish Whiskey 40% (2009)

Postby TheWhiskeyBro » Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:51 pm

New blended Irish whiskey supplied by Cooley to Berniko for the US market only.

Colour: Golden Syrup

Nose: A lovely nose, aromas of candied orange peel, sugar and ginger and a hint of liquorice.

Taste: Lovely smooth balance between the peppery maltiness and the sweet citrus notes.
This contrasts nicely with the oaky notes. Almost Cointreau like in flavour.

Finish: Not very long but lingering gentle malty finish.


Comment: As it says on the label "A Fine Blend". A really good example of what can be achieved from a Cooley blend.

Score: 83

Official notes from the website.

Tasting notes: "Bright old gold color. Aromas of honeyed nuts, cream in cereal, and earthy dried wildflowers follow through on a soft, supple entry to a dry medium body with a hint of cocoa, straw, and pepper. Finishes with a gentle, warming gingerbread accented fade."

"Highly Recommended" by:
