Review: The Busker Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

With today being St Patrick’s Day I thought it would be a good time to review The Busker Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.  Irish Whiskey can be distilled as a Single Grain, Single Malt, and Single Pot Still.  A quick coarse in Irish Whiskey 101 tells you a Single Grain Irish whiskey is made from unmalted grain from a single distillery.  A Single Malt Irish Whiskey comes from malted barley distilled from a single distillery.  A Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is made from a blend of malted and unmalted barley at a single distillery.  A fourth type of Irish whiskey is Blended which is made from a blend of malted whiskey from the same or different distilleries.  The Busker crafts all four styles.  Of my 43 Irish Whiskey reviews my top 2 rated have been Green Spot and Redbreast 12 Year old Single Pot Still, so I guess you can conclude Single Pot Still is my favorite expression.  The Busker SPS is made from malted and unmalted barley and pure water sourced from a 70 meter deep aquifer.  It is finished in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and non-chill filtered before bottling at 88.6 proof.

Review: Teeling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Teeling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is the first whiskey to be distilled in Dublin in nearly 50 years.  Prior to it’s release Teeling had sourced their whiskey from the Cooley Distillery that at one time was owned by the Teeling family.  Teeling Single Pot Still pays homage to a Dublin style made famous by the now closed Dublin Whiskey Distillery.  It is crafted using a uniquely Irish malt bill consisting of 50% malted and 50% un-malted barley that has been triple distilled and matured in a combination of American virgin oak, bourbon, and sherry casks.  The whiskey is non chill filtered and bottled at 92 proof.
