Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt

Smells sweet - the sharpness of vanilla bean with a light honey backdrop; I immediately recognize the floral depth characteristic of an Irish; vanilla stays along in the palate, as well as candied apple and the filling of a cherry cordial - thoroughly malty as well; the finish is interesting and medicinal but diminishes sooner than I'd expect; thanks Mitch - an amazing gift and a great whiskey for the price range.
