Tastes

This is what my mind goes to when I think Irish whisky. Lots of flavor but nothing out of balance. Spicy mid palate. Finishes with citrus oil bite.

Brighter and lighter with pear and white grapes in the nose. Sweet honey and pear with with cinnamon maybe. I think it's a bit more distracting to the original flavors than complimentary personally but they did a great job.

Spicy. Rich but a bit more booze and tart in the front nose.

Sweet and fruity. Brings up some oak and dark fruit in the later taste for me. Richer by a lot than the standard 10 year. Really liked this one

Sweet, bit of orange and vanilla. Mild and smooth.

Scents of light peat, orange peel, touch of other fruit(tart pear?), vanilla. Taste for me was under ripe bananas, light spices, apple skin, malty. A bit thin. Some honey and sweet in a good way. Finishes distinctly scotch but very approachable. Nothing off-putting at all. Not so peat or smoke forward that it would be hard in a cocktail. Balanced and not over powering for my taste at all. I think I need to drink more scotch.

Approachable and easy drinking in a good way. Not over smoothed or sweet. It's definitely not a bourbon for non bourbon drinkers but for the price it elevates expectations. Caramel, demara and gentle wood faint toasted marshmallow on nose. Taste is typical bourbon sweet with mellow oak. I thought on the rocks actual harshed it a bit. I know it's not a word but I am adding it. Worth small sips to discover more complexity hidden inside.

Leather and grass on the nose. Neat=Green apple skin and tabacco, dry grasses. Very different from their normal rye but not better, just different for my taste. A little ice and it's smooths out and tempers some of the bite. Better on the rocks or in a cocktail.

It's good but something not quite connecting with me. Gentle undefined nose with mostly alcohol and spice forward. Vanilla extract, spices, green wood on taste.

For the price but not a top value. Cardboard on the nose which is weird right? Heat initially with spices and a short thin cinnamon finish. Not terrible and a reasonable value for price. Fine mixed but not a wow.
