Writers' Tears Copper Pot

Nice and smooth irish whisky. A nice alternative to Jameson but would be better with higher ABV

Bottle: NAS 40% L6036L2014. Glass: Glenc'n Canadian Whisky glass. Nose: Brown sugar and overripe bananas, some peach also. Palate: Carries on with the banana, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg--all sweet and oily-like. Definitely a little oak bitterness in there, but not overbearing. Reminds me a lot of Bananas Foster. Finish: Decently long, but not complex by any means--a bit rummy. This make's a delightful dessert whiskey...a treat, but not a "go-to". 81/100 MMB 07-06-16

Maybe it was just the sample I tasted, but this was probably the first Irish whisky that I didn't like. I thought the nose was fine, citrusy-lemony. But, it really fell apart on the palette for me. The finish was also much shorter than expected. I got this through Flaviar...maybe just a bad sample. EDIT: I'm trying to put 2 stars...but Distiller forces a ' 5-star'. Not sure why.
