Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey

First Irish whiskey besides the usual Jameson. Very soft nose with a sweet taste. Finish was slightly rough and made it a little difficult to drink neat. Once adding a few drops of water, this went away very quickly.

Just opened a bottle and my first impression was that this is an exceptional Whiskey for the price. A very fine whiskey for usual consumption.

The rum barrel aging is definitely apparent on the palette. Thick mouth feel with a warming burn at the finish. Hints of honey and banana on the nose, along with a powerful sense of the proof.
