Tastes

Nose: iodine, medicine, bandaid, salt water, smoked meat, peat, wet wood. Reminds me Ardberg 10 but lighter. Light notes with fruits deep down. Some sweetness deeper, more after first sip. Palate: sweet, smoky, ash at start. Oily. No burn, pearl at the back. You just understand that's a smoky Islay whiskey. Finish: ocean, ash and smoke but in pleasant and bright way. Strong cigar aftertaste - but I'm enjoying it ( not a smoker myself). Sea breeze till the end of the day. Very pleased with the experience consider affordable price. I tried only two Islay whiskeys - this one and Ardberg 10 and I'm a fan so far. Laphroaig 10 compare to Ardberg is more salty and ashy at taste but nose is similar in some way. Definitely a keeper!

Bourbon smell but more mature. Woody sweet notes, not 100 proof nose, burned sugar, vanilla, light smoke at the back. After some time some light pickle. Palate: light burn, clean taste with some smoke, spices and toast. Finish is fast, warm and pleasant. Mixer: did an awfull job in whiskey sour. Made one with regular Bushmills and Creek same proportion and ingredients: Creek - weird color (more like dirty, maybe it's rye), no foam, taste was ok. Bushmills was perfect - milky foam, pleasant taste, light and more yummy color. Maybe it's the difference in alcohol level - 50vol vs 40vol. But Creek did good as Old Fashioned Probably will not buy again, but will try some other Rye

45% vol. No chill-filtered The influence of bourbon barrels is really strong on both the nose and palate. Nose: Sweet, reminiscent of bourbon, with notes of sugar and spices. Palate: A bit too harsh for me, with hot waves, dryness, and a corn distillate flavor. Finish: Oaky with a hint of plastic. There's too much bourbon character in this one for me, lacking the distinct Irish character. I will not purchase it again.

43% alc. Nose: sweet & pleasant, citrus, smoke, sherry, light saltiness. Palate: start as soft, tender and sweet after smoky notes and peat Finish: light kick, wood and spices. Mouthful. Great value for the money! Consider how rich and we'll balanced it is, definitely worth a try! + no coloring another plus I was a bit sceptical about all the hype but now I can see why it is. It's definitely not the best on the market and far from Islay character but it deserves your attention. It's a keeper

I'll prefer this one over Jameson hands down. More reach aroma and complex taste. One of the best young whiskey for me. Nose: sweet and light, peat/earth, honey, apple, pear candy. little bit of ethanol, mild spices. Palate: pleasant, rich, some wood at the back, light kick. Finish: light alcohol, herbal and sweet. It's my go for everyday sipper. Also it's my grade standard - I compare every whiskey to this one. Very good for the money but spend little bit more for Black Bush - another level Great in whiskey sour and old fashioned! Always in my bar!

A really good example off well balanced, floral + fruits whiskey. Easy going. Great for introduction to a Whiskey World. Probably will buy just to get back to average good

Nose: Bourbon nose, sweet fruits, vanilla, honey, salted caramel and cloves or sweet nuts? Much more pale nose with ice. Palate: Complex, oily and rich taste with some spices, oak - better than usual bourbons. (Easy going on rocks - probably because of high proof) Finish: Long finish unlike in bourbons, soft and pleasant. Will not buy myself

Classic Bourbon but too sweet for me. I can see why people like it. Nose: Vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, pickled apples. Palate: sweet, light, oak Finish: some spices, wood Helped me to understand that I'm not a Bourbon guy. May buy if will starve for sweet bourbon taste

Used for whiskey sour. did great. awesome quality for the money. Great for highballs too. You getting what you paid for, nothing fancy but in overall decent sip for the buck. Will by for mixing

light, pleasant. nothing particularly special. easy going. Fancy bottle. Probably should give a second try.
