After a rather lengthy search I finally found this bottle. My wife loves Irish Whiskey and I have been trying to keep up with the best I can find. Generally they are a tad light for me, but these cask strength offerings are becoming more common much to my delight. The nose is quite lovely on this dram. Red berries come through as expected, but there is an overlying candy sweetness. We are off to a nice start. First sip is full of flavor. Floods of cinnamon and berries wash across as a warming heat grows mid sip. This one is straightforward in its simplicity and brilliance. At nearly 120 proof this is as high alcohol an Irish pour as you will find, but as long as you take your time enjoying it you will be lovingly rewarded with an incredible experience. This might be my favorite Irish bottle yet. If you happen to have the luck of the Irish and see a bottle don't sit on it!
