Tasting Notes
"Sweet and rather fresh with pastries, buttery vanilla, sweet spices and floral notes. While the nose definitely screams "Irish Whiskey!", the palate is richer and more robust showing notes of burnt caramel, honey, pot-still spices and bay leaf. The finish is average with more spices coming through."
