Tastes

Rich amber liquid and sweet fragrance greets you. I took a double on the rocks. The initial taste was a tad sweet and ended with a slight harsh aftertaste which kept my ratings below 4. I couldn’t quite make out the individual notes because of the sweetness. Not a bad drink but would go to others first.

Nice light, sweet aroma and soft amber color welcomes you to this smooth bourbon. Notes of caramel and cherry hit the palate as the ‘bourbon kiss’ warms you inside. Nice char lingers without a harsh alcohol finish. Great over ice. Worth the taste.

Nice aroma with a subtle taste. The long aftertaste of alcohol prevents me from rating higher. I’ll drink this solo with a lot of ice.

Notes of warm vanilla and leather greet your palate. The nose hits with a sweet, vanilla aroma. The finish is a little harsh from the higher alcohol percentage but doesn’t detract from the nice flavors. All in all a nice bourbon.

Smooth start with a slight harsh finish. I usually stick to the 15 year but this is what they had, still worth the sip.

I didn’t pick up much flavor from this whiskey but at least it didn’t have the harsh alcohol taste of cheap liquors. I’d buy this again but only if the selection was sparse.

I was expecting a more smooth experience from start to finish but this has a very harsh experience at the beginning which led me to rate this lower.

You get an almost syrupy odor when you uncork this bottle. The initial taste is harsh before settling on flavors of caramel and vanilla. Too pricey for me given the taste.

Beautiful color and aroma welcomes the drinker when the bottle is unsealed. I like my whisky over ice and this sample was outstanding in them at form. Initial flavorful and creamy taste was followed with vanilla and butterscotch. Definitely worth exploring further.

Great, smooth taste from this single pot Irish whiskey. Great aroma and color that delivers a delicious taste without the peat. A must have for any liquor cabinet.
