The Busker Triple Cask Triple Smooth
Blended — Ireland
Reviewed

N: Has a bit of that Hi-C note from the Busker SPS—actually, probably just has a bit of the SPS in it—but it's more subdued and better rounded here. Peach, pear, vanilla, caramel. Cherry candy and/or cherry cough syrup. Too much ethanol generally, but not out of line for the price.
P: Big and fruity early with some orchard fruit and a distinct strawberry note. The fruit is quite sweet and tends to come across like candy. Bit more malt follows with some caramel and toffee. Dash of vanilla as well. Baking spice leads into the finish, which slowly builds through cinnamon and into a chili pepper heat. Some sour fruit mixes in, but the finish mostly just hot.
I think this is a notch better than Busker Single Pot Still and a solid entry-level Irish whiskey generally. It's a decent alternative to Jameson, for example, but I wouldn't take it over Powers Gold. Pretty easy to drink, and cheap, but ultimately nothing memorable about this one.
