Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A bottle with a story makes a thoughtful gift, and this single malt carries one worth telling. It is a tribute to the storied 'Irish Brigade' regiment, one of the oldest and most honored military units in United States history. That makes it a natural choice for someone of Irish heritage, a service member or veteran, a military family, or anyone who loves history, whether you are marking a retirement, a homecoming, a promotion or Father's Day. A portion of each sale supports the 69th Infantry Regiment Historical Trust, so the gift does a little good beyond the glass. Made from malted barley in Ireland, it opens with toffee, vanilla, stone fruit and a hint of chocolate. It settles into a creamy, sweet palate before a long finish of honey and gentle cinnamon spice. The recipient can sip it neat or with a single ice cube, stir it into an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, or pour a shot into a proper Irish Coffee.
