Tastes

The nose does have ash and that maltiness from the grain. On multiple sniffs you get almost a lemon lime pop like quality to it On first sip it is more viscous than Bushmills original with a typical shortbread cookie like flavor on the tongue, and a bitterness like eating raw walnuts on the finish. Overall i like it, not as shiny as the original and was worth the $29 to me.

Nose is a LOT of fruit! Think berries and sugar and cream sprinkled on top First sip its like a fruit explosion and then the slightest whisp of smoke, but like barrel char or camp fire not peat like. Overalli i really like this! Ill buy again

Nose: that sherry comes through very strong of like the macintosh candles from yankee candle company turning to a malt funkiness Sip: starts very sweet then gets a tart berry like flavor that lingers to like barrel spices. Salt and more maltiness follows on the second sip lingering around a bit (Edit) Butterscotch. Lots of butterscotch now that its had a chance to breath. Im really enjoying this Finish: medium length of the fruits and almost raisin quality

I echo the tasting notes from the pro; musty, sweet, floral nose with a sweet ceral sip. Good value for sure!

Smoke at first turns to a malty cereal note, like honey on oats. Slight medicinal mineral notes appear on the finish. For the price its excellent

I get it now. The smoke, iodine, medicinal quality which turns to honey, sea salt (like salt air) and a finish that longers of honey and smoke. I get it

The nose has it for me. I can enjoy it much longer than actually sipping the whisky. Such a rich nose with warm ripe or even cooked fruits, a whisp ever so slight of smoke, and then just a malted milkball quality. The sip brings more malt, then almost more of a citrus fruit like a ripe florida naval orange or even a cutie! Finish lingers with that malt mustiness. I really dig it

It feels a bit like a bourbon drinkers irish whisky. Rich with vanilla and spiced apples, brown sugar, and that malt mustiness. Finish is medium and a bit of cinnamon candies linger
