It has a kind of sweet nose with some bit of smoke and grain, including a bit of tart rye. The palate is smooth with some nice smoke and just a tiny bit of burn. The mouthfeel is viscous and fairly sweet but without a gross caramel flavor. There's something a bit of and bitter with some alcohol, but there is also honey. It reminds me a bit of America single malt, but with some odd grain influences. Unfortunately, the odd flavors permeate more and it becomes less enjoyable a sit goes on. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it by the end, sort of like with that French whiskey. There are some subtle notes here that are good, including a faint hint of apricot, but on the whole it is underaged and has bad flavors that need masking. It's not awful though. Still, the fullness and sweetness are nice. It kin did has too much of that problematic Irish whiskey flavor. The fruit, sweetness, and viscosity really salvage this.
