Ruddy copper color. Legs are very slow to form, and irregularly spaced when they do appear. Quite sticky
The nose is rich with malty sweetness and lots of ripe fruit and maybe just a hint of honeysuckle.
It's soft, sweet, and approachable. Sweet up front that gives away to a back and forth between Woody barrel tones and a fruity sweetness that I can only assume comes from the Sherry and Marsala casks. There's a anise like character that comes through late on the finish and adds a layer of richness to the flavor profile that seems uncommon in Irish whiskeys I've tried.
It's got a long finish and is very interesting to drink.
What a treat. Definitely a top three Irish whiskey for me so far.
