This is my first time drinking an Irish whiskey based on a recent recommendation from a bartender. At the bar it was so smooth I thought it may have been diluted in some way. I decided to buy myself a bottle. Luckily, I scored one on sale locally. Fortunately, I endured a similar experience! The aromatics resembled vanilla infused oak. Taste was an interesting mix of said oak along with apple and at times green banana. Not as sweet as the fruit notes lead you to believe which was nice. Instead it finished quite dry with a smidge of an earthy like character. From what I was told this is the starting point in the brand. After this positive result, I shall definitely seek out the other colors in their palette.
