Tastes

St Patrick's Day month, so I have to experiment with different Irish whiskeys. So, I randomly grabbed this bottle. Semi sweet scent that begins with butter and a mixture of clove and fruit. I smell scents of apple, banana and soft peach. The sweetness carries into the taste with a mouthful of marmalade. Strong hit of alcohol that overpowers the smoke and light heat. I think it would be better if used as a mixer or if aged longer.

Tropical fruit scents, buttery, anise, allspice. Warming earthy taste of cinnamon, vanilla and clove aftertaste with medium heat. Medium finish and great for a night alone or get together with family and friends.

Golden color with floral scents of citrus, vanilla, and heavy alcohol despite 43%abv. The taste is oily with candied toffee, fruitness, and subtle spice. The finish is oily and long. It's very tasty.

Nice Rye on a cool night. Strong whiff of Rye followed by vanilla, sweet caramel, light oak, and toffee. Rich smells followed the taste of spicy cinnamon, heavy menthol and mint with lingering smoke. Slightly oily

Quality peated whiskey with scents of oak, butter, over ripe banana, allspice, vanilla, salt. The taste is upfront with strong peat reminiscent of Scotch. The Peay is center focus with menthol and smoke. Medium heat and finish. It is very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed.

Sweet, jammy nose with sweet caramel, fig, butterscotch, and a toasty fire. The taste brings floral orange, slightly oily, menthol, and soft heat with long finish. Good bottle to bring on a trip or get together with friends.

Finally, I got around to the famed Remus. The nose gives off char and light smoke. The white oak really comes through. Scents of caramel dominate your senses matched with sweet vanilla and baking spices in your typical bourbon notes. Smooth taste but no complexity. Slight heat that lingers with caramel. Solid

Rye and cinnamon are the stars of the bottle. Sweet and fruity scents mixed with Rye, banana, buttery toast, light smoke and powdered cinnamon. The taste hits you with spicy cinnamon but not in the way Fireball attemps. The heat is strong but what you expect in a Rye. The medium finish is good but if it was longer the rating would be higher. Steal at its price point and good sipper to enjoy with friends and family that appreciate whiskey especially a good Rye.

Bottle full of smoke. The scent of smoke, sweetness and the greatest cereal ever made "Waffle Crisp," slight hint of orange peel and rich maple. The taste is strong with peat, spicy peppercorn, menthol and heavy oak. At 4 years, quite tasty with long finish and lengthy heat. Would be interested in other bottles to see differences.
