TastedOn the nose it is floral and sweet. Same as the taste. There is a subtle nose and taste of the peat. Definitely not heavy. Finish is short and sweet. -

TastedThis one has been on my radar for quite a while. Don't see it very often so grabbed it at specs for $45. Poured neat, nose is wintergreen, circus peanuts and just used wet umbrella. There is smoke but not the roaring wood fires of Islay. Its a puff of melted plastic along with some banana and dusty malt. Interesting for sure. Palate lets the smoke breathe a bit more. Its again no heavyweight but a nice complement to the sweet malty sugars and light spice. Barrel notes near end transition to cooling dry finish with the soft peat and honeyed smoky malt lingering. Overall its a restrained experience with the flavors nuanced and subtle. Its easy drinking, approachable and very enjoyable. This is one of the better Irish whiskies Ive had but does not in anyway compete with true smoky scotch nor does it try to. It is unique in the Irish realm and a nice tasty change of pace.......85/10045.0 USD per Bottle -

TastedBetter than some Scotch. This whiskey is nicely done. Peat bops you the nose on every sip, velvet smokey honey coat the palate nicely and a long chard oak after taste lingers for some time. A lot more peat and smoke than I was expecting for an Irish, but a rich and heavy single malt body to support the peat smoke flavors. Could be an everyday drinker for a peat head. Surprised on the low rating, as I believe this can best a lot of Scotch offerings of peat. Would be great around a campfire or a cold winter night and a heavy meal.45.0 USD per BottleBinny's Beverage Depot - Des Plaines
