Tastes

The port finish is there but on the lighter side.. otherwise, its very much an Irish blend. Thatsnot a bad thing at all!

Straigjt up classic Irish: Butter biscuits, shortbread and vanilla for days. Not breaking any molds but it doesnt have to.

It’s immediately identifiable as a JD product. Banana pudding, vanilla wafers, the charcoal mellowing…all there. But its also chocolatey with the rye notes coming through. Blows #7 outta the water of course!

Classic Irish. Lots of shortbread, vanilla and a bit of lemon zest. Its not reinventing the wheel or anything but for a mid $20 blended irish, you cant go wrong here.

Notthing you wouldnt expect from a bourbon casked irish single malr. All the usual suspects are here: shortbread, a little jam, honey, floral and malty notes. Very rich mouthfeel though and well crafted.

A pretty good nose on it, malty and a bit fruity. A lot like a bourbon cask Speyside scotch that way. But I also get bourbony new oak. The pallet is a bit thin. There’s nothing bad here but this is NOTHING like the smaller distillery’s ASM’s. It’s sweet and malty with a slightly sour note on the end. I think it could use more time in the oak. It’s a brand new spirit for Bulleit so it will probably get better in the future.

Nose is heavy with fruits and shortbread notes. Comes off like a boozy marionberry pie. On the pallet its all dark fruit, oak spice and vanilla. Straightforward flavors but some of the exact notes are hard to pin down. Its definitely heavy on the malt/pot still with just a bit of the grainy notes coming through, mostly on the finish. Fantastic pour!

BIG flavors. As a fan of Islays, this is something that wil smack you with a huge flavor profile. Theres definitely peat but also sherry, dark fruits, oakiness, some chocolatey/coffee, some mineral flavors and a whiff of that notorious C-town funk. Absolutely fantastic!

Its a delcious american single malt. Chocate, oak, spice

Really good flavor, it’s got a bit of peat, really oaky and a fruity sweetness that I can’t quite put my finger on. I think its like a citrusy/berry note. For $45, it’s definitely a banger! Irish peat is just different. It’s floral and herbal. Reminds me of that Orkney peat in highland park but it’s still different.
