Nose: White sugar, metallic artificial vanilla, and subtle corn. Kettle corn. Caramel. Subtle hits of oak and mint. Just a thread of char and smoke. Wafts of walking by the part of the produce aile the has the packs of various berries. Not terribly deep or complex, but well integrated otherwise.
Palate: Kettle corn, caramel, buttery, very suble lemon. Oak, but with minimized tannin. Pound cake with vanilla icing. Maybe a little banana. Focuses on the mid-palate. Top-heavy, but not in a bad way. Light mouthfeel, though with semi decent oil.
Finish: Vanilla, lemon oil, oak. Grape skins. Cream. Short length, but pleasant.
Other notes: This isn't trying to be the most complex, deep, rich, intriguing experience. Instead, it's a phenomenally executed glass that wants to accompany your good time, instead of being the center of attention. If you like Irish, you'd dig this. Maybe not something I'd feel compelled to always have on hand, but worth a purchase if this is your style. Cheers!
