Tasting Notes
"This is a beautiful whiskey from Tyrconnell, with its long time in wood and unique finish giving it complex layers of flavor. With ripe pear and vanilla up front, it gradually unfolds into notes of floral nectar, orange peel, and the elegant, sweet fruitiness of a Tokaji or Sauternes dessert wine. Pour this one neat and enjoy."
