The Bridge – Dead Center No. 2
Irish Single Malt Whiskey – Bourbon & Stout Cask
The Bridge – Dead Centre No. 2 is a limited single malt release from the Lough Ree Distillery in Ireland. This whiskey is 5 years old and matured in a combination of bourbon and stout casks , resulting in a distinct and contemporary flavor profile.
The nose reveals malt, vanilla, roasted grains, light chocolate, and subtle coffee notes . The flavor is full and characterful, with caramel, biscuit, cocoa, a soft bitterness, and a creamy texture , clearly influenced by the stout casks. The finish is medium to long , slightly dry and spicy, with a nice balance between sweet and bitter.
At 46% ABV and an unusual cask combination, this is a whiskey for explorers , not for those seeking a classic Irish style.
