Tastes

I really enjoy Stranahan's. It's rich, the velvety oiliness coats the mouth with some mild cinnamon, nutmeg and maltiness. It does have a nice bite on the front of the tongue at first and finishes sweet, buttery and short.

At 46%abv and 25.00US it's not bad, but it's not great. It has an old funk about it. Not spoiled or rotten. Ever had a box of old sunmaid raisins? That's what I'm getting on the nose and the palette is the same with a bitter finish. Perhaps they used some worn out cask that are imparting this strong flavor.

I've tried to find my favorite Irish whiskey and I think I've done it. All the classic biscuit and oatmeal flavors with a light Sherry finish. I can't get enough of this bottle.

Wow! I'm not a fan of Irish whiskey but I try to keep searching for THE ONE Irish I like and this does it for me. I'm a big fan of Sherry finished scotch and the Sexton delivers. Mild, sweet and very light. The taste doesn't linger , but it's great

solid Sherry finished scotch. Nose: sweet, candied nuts, sweet dried fruit mostly dates for me. Taste: sweet on the front with Sherry dark fruit, some vanilla and grass. ends with just a bit of ginger spice and goes away fast. easy to drink. I love Balvenie DW, but for 1/2 the price this would be a easy alternaive.

Heavy ethanol burn at first, young grain alcohol shines thru too much in this blend. great mixer.

at first approach I was blown away. this is my first Islay Peated Scotch. All I got was deep smoke like if I threw a wet rag into my pit smoker for 3 hours and took a whiff. first glass was all iodine, brine and that same smoke. Like sipping dripping from a fire pit. I left alone for a week came back. this time it was a sweeter, more fruit notes coming thru but still harsh smoke and peat. Then I started mixing into cocktails, the Penicillin is a good one to approach this hell fire Peaty Scotch
