Whiskey Wednesday (Patreon)

Getting ready for another Whiskey Wednesday with a new set of Waterford tasting tumblers from a very generous Patreon. They are so beautiful and take my tasting to a whole new level. I am so thankful  & appreciative!

Well, today I sampled Kilbeggan Single Grain, which was very interesting. At first, I loved the beginning, but the finish was a bit rough with a strong after taste that I really can't describe. I guess, I will get better at this with more experience. But after the third taste, it really grew on me. So overall, I would say I like it. It's a bit stronger than I prefer, but enjoyable.

This Single grain Irish whiskey, is made using an exacting mashbill of 94% corn and 6% malted barley. It's described as light & easy going. My tastebuds don't agree with that, but I'm pretty inexperienced. Cheers!
