This is my surprise whisky of the year! Nose - Imagine freshly baked chocolate bread with just a bit of light sugar powder and cocoa powder dusted over it. Vanilla with light cereal grain meets just a sugar marmalade. Then you get these puffs or light red/blue wine just bringing in fruits to the party. This is decadent dessert in a glass. Taste - This is about as perfect a blending of irish malt and grain married in heavenly casks. Creamy mouth feel with huge white cinnamon spice, chocolate, even an even so hint of chille pepper sneaks in. Vanilla, vanilla, so much vanilla but not like bourbon but in that clean grain way. The finish won't even consider stopping. The spice and chocolate with almost a smokey oak barrel just won't go anywhere. Huge lingering amazingness. 4.25 This is a must buy!
