The Fighting 69th Regiment Whiskey Review
“The Fighting 69th Regiment” is a whiskey that pays homage to the U.S. Army regiment, first founded as a N.Y. state militia of Irish soldiers in 1849. The whiskey inside is very much Irish, a blend of malted and unmalted barley that’s triple copper-pot-distilled and sourced from undisclosed Irish distilleries. It is aged in a mix of single-char, double-char, oloroso sherry, rum, and port casks.
The nose offers notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, oatmeal, rich oak, and stewed pears. These flavors open up in the mouth with honey, toffee, and vanilla, orange and lime zest, and bready malt. The long finish carries the sweet bready malt with charred oak, pepper, and Earl Grey tea.
