Tastes

Maple, vanilla, burnt hot dog smokiness (in a good way). Right amount of heat, beautiful value for price. Great first real Canadian whiskey for me

Had it open for a week and a half after first pour and the second and third pours were much better, still not my favorite but great for the price!

Similar notes to Bushmills but with the sherry cask hiding some of the classic Irish. Rubbery smoke and dried fruit, more complex than most value whiskeys but personally I’d reach for Tullamore Dew at this price range!

Buy if you find it, more complex fruit notes and longer finish than most Irish whiskeys. I got raspberry, nectarine peel, a little cherry, hint of pear on top of the vanilla and almond notes. Excited to see what Clonakilty produces with their own distillate!
