Redbreast 15 Year

About my 3rd pour of this. Nose: this is a little more potent than the 12. I get more of the alcohol on the nose. Same danish cookies smell but seems more concentrated. Light citrus zest, buttery pastries. Melon. Honeydew Taste: oily butter cookie goodness. Spices and oak follow. Hints of almond butter. Dark chocolate is what coats the throat to finish. Mouthfeel: this feels oilier than most whiskeys I’ve had. Spice hits the back of the throat right away and lingers there till it subsides. The flavor hits the tongue and leaves the wood flavors and spices quickly.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day! I’m really loving this bottle.

Nose is toasty pastry dough, some honey and nuttiness, like baklava, with a little citrus, and pepper. More of the barrel is apparent, when compared with the 12. Taste is buttery, slightly sweet, honey, warming on the tongue, nice even pepper, long pleasant finish. Compared favorably with a good bourbon. In fact, if like to get a bottle and do side-by-side comparisons with a few bourbons. I like this quite a bit more than the 12. There's more development, it's one of those that over the course of a bottle, you can keep picking out new smells and flavors.

Just sitting home by the fire, Irish music on the turntable :)

Mild nose. Taste oily

What a dissapointment. I really liked the 12yo and i just had the amazing 21yo but this is a ghost compared to those two. I am not a great fan of fruity whiskies and this is an irish that resembles a speysider. 46%abv. On the nose there is this dim chocolate note mixed with fruits. Is like chocolate mixed with sider. Green apples and that is it. On the palate: apples and chocolate. It feels like an oily sider. Not good. Aftertaste is watery. Hate when that happens. A hint of clove. Had to add a couple drops of water to see if it gets better. It improved the whiskey a lot. Caramel and tobacco appeared on the nose. On the palate some typical grain whiskey vanilla showed up. Clove got a little better on the aftertaste. Overall, i dont want to be harsh but this one has a good reputation and it didn't live up to it for me. Sorry but this is a 52 over 100 in my score system.
