Powers John's Lane Release 12 Year

Not a bad whiskey but not my favorite. Sweet and bready but with a bit of an after burn.

Honey, apple, apricot, and oak

Nose- honey melon heat Taste - I taste paper, yes paper then heat and grape sweetness Finish- paper fades into a sweet heat ethanol After. A little to much burn, def not redbreast.

Leather and tobacco and chocolate on top of the usual single pot still sweetness. This is perfect.

Smooth and delicious. This is the best Irish I have had due to the complexity and smoothness while still being rich with flavor - better than RB Cask 12 and any of the spots (even Blue). There is a thick beeswax and orange blossom hit right away that melts into a dark brown sugar, sweet cereal, and almost grape jelly note. There's a puff of smokey leather too. A slight pepper heat is present but very mellow, along with a chocolate and orange finish that lasts a bit, with a hint of metals (in a good way). The doubters will say this should be a higher proof to be worth it but I disagree. As it stands, the smoothness and balance of flavors, especially at $60-$80 range makes this a must buy.

Nose of fresh green and red apple Palate vanilla cream pie Finish has a somewhat spiced honey medium length
