Hyde 1938 Special Reserve is an Irish whiskey blending 18-year-old single malt with 8-year-old single grain, both originally aged in American bourbon barrels and finished in vintage Oloroso Sherry butts. The nose offers figs, dates, vanilla, and sweet plums, while the palate delivers syrupy apricot, gingerbread, and harmonious European oak. A mouth-coating finish of dried fruit and oak makes this a genuinely elegant Irish whiskey.
