Tastes

A classic, smooth Irish whisky. On the nose I get malt, ripe apple fruit, and a hint of like citrus. The malt comes through on the taste along with smooth green flavors. Not too interesting, but very approachable and easy to sip.

Im not too hot on this one, it feels a bit off. The nose is mostly just the smell of alcohol, with little defining characteristics. The taste is definitely of a rye taste, but it feels unbalanced and harsh as the spice from the rye overpowers the sweeter vanilla taste that feels out of place. The sweeter taste definitely comes through in the finish, but the sweet taste quickly disappears and leaves behind a coating feeling in the mouth. I'll pass.

This whiskey is perfect for a cold night. The nose is a nice, smoky smell with tart fruits. The taste is strongly of vanilla and cinnamon, with a spicy burn that is excellent. The finish isn't too long, but enjoyable. Overall, great whiskey.

The nose is very faint, leathery with a bit of spice if you really take a big whiff. The taste is oddly sweet and light, just vanilla and spice. Very short finish, the spice doesn't linger at all. An interesting change of pace whiskey, but not really my style.

This is an ideal sipping whiskey. The nose has a bit of oakiness and sweet vanilla. For the taste, you definitely get a bit of nutty vanilla and a good amount of heat, as the rye kicks through. Low price point, solid quality.

This one wasn't great, there are far better options for a lower price. On the nose, it mostly smells like young greens with a faint hint of a sweet corn. The taste is odd. It's definitely peppery, but every other flavor seems muddled. You can definitely do better than this.

This whiskey brings the heat. On the nose you get some aged leather and spicy vanilla. There is a heavy spice flavor that tastes of smoke, spices (light pepper/cinnamon, and campfire. The finish is a perfect length. Excellent whiskey.

Affordable and refreshing. The nose has scents of apple, sweet honey, and a minty juniper smell. Taste brings out more of the apple with honey and sweet vanilla flavor as well. The finish is smooth and faint. 40% is a bit light, but at the price point, this is a phenomenal sipper.

Amazing and enjoyable scotch. The nose is almost overwhelming, with a huge blast of peat. The taste has an earthy, peaty taste with a hint of salt and a green fruity sweetness. It is surprisingly smooth, with almost no burn. Great stuff
