The Quiet Man Blended Traditional Irish Whiskey

Certainly smells Irish. Scents of amber grain, cereal, wheat, honey and a tad of citrus notes. A bit surprised to find a limestone flavor in this whiskey along with more grain notes and honey. Very smooth and easy. No whiskey PhD needed to find the flavors. Like most Irish whiskeys it’s not pretentious, simply simple.

Nose: cereal, apples, strawberry Taste: cereal, Vanilla, nutmeg A solid, if somewhat unremarkable whiskey.

Nose: Grains and oak. Subtle citrus fruits. Hints of caramel. A simple nose. Palate: Sweeter than the nose. Vanilla strongest here with honey coming in waves. Fruity notes, apples mostly. Finish: Brief. Warm. It’s smooth at first but gives a little kick on the way out. Overall Thoughts: I quite like it. I’ve seen some somewhat negative reviews about this one or just simply saying it’s mediocre. The nose is simple but I think it’s a very solid blend and I quite enjoy the interesting complexity on the palate. This is one of those whiskeys I’d consider to be one that’s perfect before bed after a quiet day.
