Tasting Notes
"This needs a little more muscle. The aroma is light and offers traditional Irish whiskey notes of green apples, bananas, porridge, and vanilla. The palate strives for the same profile but comes off weak and out of balance. The fruit and vanilla notes seem watered down and the sweetness artificial. A bump in alcohol would go a long way here."
