Although I remain an enthusiastic fan of bourbon -- particularly Woodford Reserve -- a recent article in Saveur sent me to my source of all things alcohol, Matt Morgan at Morgan and York, inquiring about the availability of the new, improved, more single-malt Scotch-like Irish whiskeys. As usual, Matt was able to offer something of a selection, and I chose The Tyrconnell single-malt for starters. This is a pot still whiskey, distilled by Cooley's.
Soft, subtle, nothing at all like the robust blends that you probably think of when you think of Irish. Well worth a try.
