Nose - caramel, pear, shortbread, honey, vanilla, cereal grain, floral notes, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - vanilla, caramel, shortbread, cinnamon, bitter floral and herbal notes, apple, lime, almond, cereal grain, moderate alcohol bite, finishing fast and bright with caramel, bitter floral, and malty grain flavors. This tastes similar to other young, low to mid shelf Irish whisky offerings like Bushmills and Jameson, but not quite as good. It’s more akin to the quality of Tullamore DEW, which I rank below the others. Overall, it’s not bad, but rather young and very simple. There are a few aromas and flavors to easily identify it as an Irish whisky, but not much past that. This would suffice as a cheap mixer, but I recommend springing a few extra bucks for the Jameson. There’s really not much more to say about it.
