Glendalough 7 Year Mizunara Finish

The finish here is what truly makes this a wonderful sip.

Wow, whatba surprise. It smell like rhum at the beginning and after like dried fruit. The smell rest long and strong. It taste like nuts.

Nose is warm stewed strawberries, honey, and dark melons, and oddly enough, it smells like it’s going to be oily and creamy. Palate is pears and honeysuckle and red berry preserves and mango chew candies and (drumroll) beautifully creamy, smooth and oily. Finish is more of the same, with the honey being the last thing to finally fade. There is zero burn (which is a change from when the bottle was first opened). If I could only use three words, it would be smooth, sweet, clean. I’ve noticed a lot of reviews mention a funky finish, and I thought the same when i first opened mine, but after some time and air (like 5 months at less than half-full) the funk is gone and what remains is very, very good. Now I’m off to see if i can find bottles of the 13 and 17.

I have enjoyed numerous Irish whiskeys in the past and I was excited to receive this as a gift and see what Mizunara did to the whiskey. It is a medium amber colour and appears to have an oily viscosity to it. Nose: I do not get the usual green apple and orchard fruits that I often get from Irish whiskeys. Instead, I get stewed prunes and. Christmas pudding cake with brandy. There is a winey port-like nose to it as well, which is surprising. Palate: Initially quite sweet and rich with dark fruits like plums. Cinnamon and baking spices immediately follow. Sherry then enters the picture and takes over the experience. Finish: Quite long but not overly pleasant. The sherry flavour seems to last forever along with a slight bitterness. Overall, I'm quite disappointed with this whiskey. I had hoped to experience a typical Irish whiskey with enhanced spicy oak notes. Unfortunately, to me it tastes like they poured this onto a Mizunara barrell that was filled with sherry still. This had so much potential but falls very short and I would not recommend this at the proce point.

Points for tasting different! Nose is strange. Oily texture. Fruity palate, and kind of rotten finish. Interesting. Aftertaste lingers and is not exactly pleasant

Oli aika huonoa verrattuna tohon normiin ja kaikki oli Artun syy

The nose is flat-out awful and fishy. On the palate , the mizunara treatment adds a spicy, fig, worm-wood taste that plays well with fruity Irish whiskey notes.
