Nose of butterscotch and vanilla. Tastes of butterscotch, vanilla, orange and ginger but kind of tangy and sweet. A perplexing orange and ginger aftertaste that is kind of medicinal — quite can’t put a finger on it. It is not your average Irish whiskey for certain.

Definitely not the best Irish, but not bad for the price.

Solid Irish whiskey. Smooth with a little burn when drinking straight or on the rocks. Even better when used as a mixer.

Appearance: This Irish offering has a light straw gold color. And thick semi-watery legs make their journey back down the glass. Nose: The nose first hits with a “grainy” nose more typical of blended Irish whiskies, but overall, sweet and full is the impression. Notes of sweet honey, lemon candy, milk chocolate malt balls, snickerdoodle cookies, red apples, and orange / cantaloupe parade across one’s nasal cavity. Taste: On the palate the impression is also fruity and full with notes of orange, cherry, cinnamon, strawberry Twizzler candy, shortbread cookies, black tea with lemon, and red grapes. Finish: The finish is lingering with a Tannin-y and lemon rind flourish at the end. Thoughts: Hey, for a budget Irish whiskey, this was not bad at all! It was complex, tasty, I liked it better after letting it open up a bit, but dang, for less than $25.00, I’ll recommend it! Thanks to both of you Gingers! Sláinte!

Found it for $15 and had to give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. Typical sweet caramel and vanilla for an Irish . Possibly a bit more spicy than some other Irish whiskeys. Definitely a lot more vanilla. I’d be interested to try with a coke, might make it a bit root beer-esque with all the vanilla. Overall great for the price. If you like Irish whiskey it won’t disappoint. I will say it has a bit of a sour aftertaste, so drink with caution, it will keep you sipping
