The Irishman is Walsh Whiskey's single malt line, and this is one of its oldest single casks, a 2005 vintage bottled in 2022 at seventeen years old. Drawn from a single Oloroso sherry butt, cask number 78223, it was released at cask strength in a run of 600 bottles for the Netherlands. As older stock from before the family's Royal Oak distillery came on stream, this is matured Irish malt selected and bottled by Walsh in Co. Carlow.

Nearly two decades in a sherry butt give a deep, resinous profile of dried fig, raisin and walnut, with dark chocolate and old oak spice from the long maturation. At 56% and undiluted, it holds plenty of weight, the sherry and age wrapped around a malt spirit that has spent far longer in wood than most Irish whiskey ever does.
