Tastes

A great value for a distinct flavor. A peculiarity - maybe my nose is shot at - but I'm getting only a faint nose, perhaps a creamy, fruity, apple waft from it. A respectable color, light gold, nothing surprising (and that isn't surprising). The palette, it's great. I love the oak and leather that is amply spread throughout the profile, with a certain tannin-like quality to it, and a flavor, maybe two, that I can't place. Perhaps not tanning, but there is a dryness to it that really makes those noted flavors stand out. It's great.

And some brown sugar. Great robust noise, strong flavor right for us 100 proof, and great lingering taste.

Light. Lighter than I prefer, but it is smooth and sweet, and I'd almost consider "session-able".

A sweet nose, opening with brown sugar and spice, and then leather and some fruitiness shows up at the tail, with a nice long tail of the flavors parading along.

Love the experimenting that Teeling is doing in the Spirit of Dublin series. It's more deep gold Heavy spices, the Irish whiskey finish is still present... raisins, perhaps orange... I hazard cocoa. I was double guessing myself, but I thought there was a rum quality to it and low and behold it took a turn in rum barrels and the product definitely took in those flavors. I look forward to having a dram of this in the winter next to a fire.

Smooth sweet and fruity in that order

Lovely sweet smell. Flavor is vanilla vanilla vanilla. Lovely vanilla.

Powerful, raisin, blackcurrant, fantastic texture and warmth like a cask strength should be. So warming
