First impressions. It’s bold and well-balanced. The sweetness doesn’t play up too much like in some Irishes. The dried red fruit and buttery wafer complement each other well. I’m reminded of those jelly-in-the-center shortbread cookies. And not the crappy kind that come in a big tin either. Mine is blueberry and raspberry with a drizzle of vanilla frosting over top. Some lingering baking spice plays up at the end. Good. Very good.
