The Sexton Single Malt brings modern Irish craft to life: 100% Irish malted barley, triple-distilled in copper pot stills, then matured in Oloroso sherry casks. Smooth, characterful and strikingly packaged, it’s a refined yet approachable dram—ideal for gifting or elevating any home bar.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Aromas of toasted nuts, marzipan and dark chocolate with a pinch of spice. The palate is smooth and balanced—dried fruits, honeycomb, apricot and lemon zest over gentle oak spice. A lingering, wood-led finish carries honeyed sweetness and a whisper of cocoa.
