This is the third Irish Whiskey I’ve reviewed from Trader Joe’s. The first was a 4-year-old Irish single malt that was utterly delicious and even though it said ex-Bourbon I swear there were some sherry casks involved. The second was an 8-year-old Irish single malt that was good, but not overly exciting; this Trader Joe’s 15 Years Old Irish Single Malt falls somewhere in between.

It doesn’t quite match the pure elegance of the sherried-not-sherried youngin’, but it’s deeper and tastier than the one one that was about half its age. It’s a solid whiskey which we’ll dig deeper into it in the Irish whiskey review below!

Trader Joe’s 15 Years Old Irish Single Malt Review: Overall and Score

I almost want to call the texture of the Trader Joe’s 15 Years Old Irish Single Malt elegant. It’s like a light syrup/light oil kind of a feel; silken, but a tad watery, it’s really interesting. The nose is spectacular with the complex fruit presentation and coppery, dry malty underpinning. The palate brings the copper and dry malt to the forefront and pushes the fruit back a row or two and is enjoyable… but that nose.

Overall this whiskey is really good, but I wish wish wish it was at a higher proof and non-chill filtered. This is a good whiskey that shows the potential for a lot of depth if they had messed with it less – like even 46% and NCF – it would likely be a whiskey so cracking good I’d have bought a case. As it is, it’s good enough, and priced low enough, that I bought two. Grab it while you can.
