Tastes

Not my favorite. Got a lot of walnut/banana flavor on my first sip with some spice. Second sip got more nuts and cinnamon than banana but maybe too cloyingly sweet for me? Not undrinkable but not the kind of fruit flavor I tend to enjoy.

My favorite bourbon right now. $35 where I am is a great price for a 10 year old bourbon.

Its like a classic Irish whiskey with bourbon or rum flavor. Bit of tropical fruit like bananas seem to mix with apple and pear notes, along with vanilla and molasses. Really like this. Used to think it was a bit expensive BUT it's bottled at 46% and is non-chill filtered which is great to see and should be commended.

Used to be my go-to and it's still very good mixed with coke, but as a straight sipper or on the rocks its not as exciting as others. I get a lot of spice, cinnamon, oak, and some dried dark fruit, with a bit of bitterness on the finish I'm not a huge fan of. Definitely better bourbons at the price, cheaper, or maybe $5 more.

Got this in Ireland since you can't get it in the states. The nose and taste is fantastic, with a lot of apple and honey. Some floral notes in there as well. Now that it has US distribution (as of October here in NC) its going to be one of my go-to's.

Very tasty. Get a lot of orange, oak, and brown sugar notes. Spice on the palate but cools off quickly.
