Rúa American Single Malt

NC whiskey. I taste praline, clove, and the slightest hint of apple and vanilla. I disliked this at first, but knowing what to taste has made me enjoy it a little more. Decent to mix with, not my favorite straight.

In March I was in Killarney for a work conference and before dinner I ambled down the town hoping to take a look into the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder on my wander. Having found it, I would recommend a visit for any whiskeyphile - what a selection they have there! I hummed and hawed for several minutes before selecting a dram of Arran 14 as my aperitif. While nursing that at the bar I spied this bottle (Release 11, Batch 19-21) and I recalled @BDanner being a fan of it. So I asked the barman to prepare a measure for takeaway (another good reason to visit). Nose: Hay shed, sweet tea, light orange, honey Taste: Light bodied, malty, cherry, milk chocolate, orange No off notes, no burn. Very light and drinkable. Perfect for summer sipping. This is a remarkable whiskey! Remarkable insofar as it is this good while this young. Surely it can’t be 15 months old, can it⁉️Confirm or correct me someone, please.

Cinnamon, vanilla, single malt taste. Smoother than 92 proof

I'm a scotch drinker but lately I've been wanting to try more American Single malts. This bottle is good but it's so young for my taste. Strong tastes of cinnamon and coco. Nutty. It's a strong flavor... I would look forward to what this distillery can do with time to age this spirit.
