This McConnell’s 5 Years Old Cognac Cask Finish adds an extra layer of refinement to a classic Irish whiskey. The base style remains recognizable: smooth, rounded, and approachable, but the Cognac cask finish adds an elegant, almost "grapey" accent with notes of dried apricot, ripe pear, raisin and a subtle floral touch. At 46%, this bottling has more body and intensity, allowing the finish to truly shine: vanilla, honey, and soft oak are joined by fruity brandy nuances and a light spiciness. Perfect for those who enjoy Irish whiskey but are looking for a bit more depth and "after-dinner" charm.
