Has a bourbon nose, brown sugar, vanilla and baking spices. A little more sophisticated than the 12 yr, but also a little shorter finish and a little flatter. Tea notes have weakened and cayenne pepper overtone remains from the 12 yr. More wood tannin and a tad sweeter. Not worth the exorbitant price difference. This might be fun at cask strength.

Nose is a weak but pleasant rye and baking spice. The front of this was a pleasantly smooth rye dominate flavor with shortbread undertone. The profile soured into a tinny and bitter finish, like licking the insides of a stale flask. Finish hovers too long with this dreck. Life’s too short for this kind of crap.

This might be the best Irish whiskey I’ve had. Very crisp apple juice and vanilla nose that carries into the palette. The flavor is rich with a long finish giving a ton of complexity for this category. As it opens I pick up some baking spices, oak and darker fruit tones, not quite prune but close. I seek out a journey in my whiskey tasting and this delivers.69.95 USD per BottleLiquor Outlet

A subtle rye nose with dominant caramel and vanilla tones. Rye touched the palette first, then a long flavor journey begins burying the rye and opening a dark date undertone moving to sweeter marshmallow, some tea leaf oak and baking spice round its long and complex finish. This is excellence in rye.
