Tastes

This flavored bourbon is one of the very best flavored whiskeys on the market today. It makes a near-perfect pairing with vanilla ice cream as a dessert. To me, this drink mixes the best characteristics of a soft bourbon and an amaretto. It has a soft delicate pecan/nutty flavor that stays in your mouth between each sip. If you like nutty liqueurs and bourbon this will most likely be a home run for you.

My Dad introduced me to this whiskey and it is nice. First, it is made in Americus, GA and being from another small town in GA I wanted to try what they were making. The liquid inside is a real corn whiskey and it took a little getting used to and this was my first all corn whiskey. It is sweet and smooth with some burn going down my throat. The only real complaint with this whiskey is that the taste is shallow. With many Bourbons, I have tasted the flavor moves and changes in my mouth and different tastes come up. With this corn whiskey, it is sweet and somewhat mellow but no change of any kind. Again this is my first corn whiskey and this may be how they are. This is not a deep whiskey but at the same time, it is not a cheap thin spined drink either. So I am going to revisit this whiskey in a few months and see if the whiskey or I have changed our views.

I really like this for its sharpness and bolder flavor. I have had several Irish whiskeys and this has the best flavor of the "starter whiskeys" from Ireland. The flavors are a bit sharp and not like other Irish whiskeys that I have tried. The taste lasts longer than most Irish whiskeys and the flavors soften as it passes over my palate. The Dubliner goes very well with fruits and cheese and is very nice on the rocks. Overall, this is a very good intro Irish whiskey and it has a nice flavor. Enjoy.
