Clonakilty Bordeaux Cask Finish Single Grain

Lovely

I like this even though it’s a grain whisky.

Nose: honey, lemon, sharp bitter orange. Taste: butter cookie and spicy cinnamon. It has a really sharp and bitter finish. Water does not alter the nose but brings out the taste with more spicy cinnamon and honey with bitter grapes and dates with red wine. It's okay. Nothing amazing. Much better Irish out there.

Lovely. It has less viscosity than Compass Box Hedonism but the same distinctive sharp vanilla note, followed by the red wine finish providing a pleasant contrast. I’d get a bottle of this but hard to find on shelves in USA
