Another year, none the wiser. I’ve made it a point to have a special dram on my bday. This year, it’s this rare beauty, sent courtesy of @ctbeck11 . Just to note…he was gracious enough to resend the pour after the first one broke in transit. Out of 6-7 samples in the box, the Whiskey God decided to choose the best one for himself (or herself). This is the oldest Irish whiskey I’ve had. And what a treat it is. You have to let it rest out a bit, and add just a drop or two of water. Really opens up to a floral aroma, but not too cloyingly flowery. And the taste is strawberries ( cited as red currants by the Distiller reviewer, but I’ve never had red currants…so, going with strawberries). Strawberries, cream, viscous…it’s fruity, but really keeps it measured and controlled. An amazing pour…pricey though. Thanks @ctbeck11 for the pour!!
