“The sweet coppery and malty nose bolstered by dark sweet notes… awesome. The sweet dessert and rich malty character sitting side by side on the palate with some complex fruit… awesome. The sweet fruity and woody finish… awesome”

Description

NOSE : Malt, banana heavy fruit, grassy honey, butterscotch, coppery single pot still notes, buttered popcorn, vanilla, citrus, peaches and it just keeps going on… and on… and on. It has a wonderfully complex nose. Have I mentioned before that I love Irish whiskey?

PALATE : Complexity, complexity, complexity. Caramel, malt, sweet cream, vanilla, that coppery single pot still character, light complex fruit notes, cinnamon heavy spice, honey and more. Simply put, it’s tasty.

FINISH : Malt, caramel and fruit fade oh so slowly to a sweet woody note.

BALANCE, BODY & FEEL : Comes together very well. Nicely balanced, a soft full body and a lovely oily texture complete the picture.

OVERALL : The sweet coppery and malty nose bolstered by dark sweet notes… awesome. The sweet dessert and rich malty character sitting side by side on the palate with some complex fruit… awesome. The sweet fruity and woody finish… awesome. I hope you see the trend.
