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.

Keeper's Heart Irish + American Whiskey
Other Whiskey — Multiple Countries
Reviewed December 24, 2022Golden 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. -
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.
