These days, I very rarely buy impromptu because I prefer to spend my money wisely. However, I purchased High N' Wicked No. 4 Aeneas Coffey Single Grain Irish Whiskey on a whim, and it's a winner. I took this leap of faith because I had great success with my previous High N' Wicked purchase of "The Judge," which soon became one of my favorite pours.
High N' Wicked Aeneas Coffey Review
Preview
This 100-proof single-grain Irish whiskey from County Cork, Ireland, stands out for its unique double-cask maturation process. It was first matured in ex-bourbon barrels, then finished for 6 months in Tinta Negra Caste Extra Sweet Madeira Casks, a method that adds a distinct sweetness and depth to its flavor profile.

Nose
The nose of High N' Wicked No. 4 Aeneas Coffey features ample golden raisins and grain. It is very fruity with mild molasses notes, apricots, and luscious buttery richness.
Palate
The palate is sweet, with honey, caramel, raisins, and the typical grainy Irish Whiskey core. My only criticism is that it may be too sweet for some.
This is tasty.
