Natterjack Irish Whiskey

I was very surprised by this bottle. I purchased it with little information and not much expectation, looking for an Irish since I hadn't bought one in a while, I snagged this on a whim. Upon first pour the nose was amazing, standard in some respect to a good Irish but this was a nose near Green Spot level which is my ultimate Irish expression. Apples and cereal are what usually come to mind with a good Irish and this delivers. The taste also delivered on the promise of the nose, presenting both flavors I detected but rounding out to a malty, somewhat oaky finish that held on for a long time. I tasted it directly against a new West Cork Black Reserve bottle, where I was expecting that type of finish on and this blew it out of the water. I highly recommend giving this a try if you can find it.
