The Irishman The Harvest is a whiskey that was formerly known as Founder's Reserve, with the renaming serving as a tribute to Irish agriculture and the "golden age" of Irish whiskey. It is a unique blend in its category because, unlike standard blends, it does not contain any grain whiskey. Its composition is 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still whiskey, a ratio that gives it the depth and character typical of traditional Irish production. This whiskey is triple distilled and made exclusively from Irish barley, then aged in American oak bourbon barrels. With an alcohol content of 40%, it offers an accessible yet rich taste experience that has won several international awards.
Aroma: the aromatic profile is lively and spicy, dominated by black pepper and ripe peaches. This fruity-spicy layer is complemented by fresh notes of green apples, pears, and flowers, which blend with the warm aroma of vanilla and caramel from the oak barrels.
Taste: the influence of the Single Pot Still component is clearly evident on the palate through a specific spiciness, which is balanced by notes of dark chocolate and bourbon oak. The texture is pleasant, with flavors of creamy caramel and malt biscuits, while hints of umami and rancio character can be detected in the background.
Finish: The finish is long and lingering, dominated by oak wood and butterscotch, leaving a sweet impression with a subtle hint of pralines.
