West Cork Glengarriff Series Bog Oak Charred Cask Single Malt

Really good flavor, it’s got a bit of peat, really oaky and a fruity sweetness that I can’t quite put my finger on. I think its like a citrusy/berry note. For $45, it’s definitely a banger! Irish peat is just different. It’s floral and herbal. Reminds me of that Orkney peat in highland park but it’s still different.

Very odd nose - slight soy sauce or hint of vinegar? No sweetness at all and thankfully nose doesn't translate to the palate... Palate has some sweetness and little else but easy to drink.

Eeeeesh… Sappy Musty in the wrong way, almost B.O. Strong Artificial vanilla Mostly one-note throughout Bitter finish A pure disappointment, gave away 2/3 of the bottle. Dry glass: even more B.O.

Not bad by any means but not the best. Lacks flavor for the most part. On the nose are very light hits of cinnamon and spices. Tastes is very light and easy to drink neat, and I don't drink any Irish whiskeys neat unless it a shot. The peat smoke is definitely the most predominant flavors but also has a light hits of char and oak spice.
