Rich golden brown in the glass with medium coating legs. Got this in July in NV for a steal at 80. Tasting this neat. Nose is sweet grain and red grapes. Mouth blows up with sweet red fruit and cereal, nuts and raisins. Then spicy grass and cooking spices show up in the finish. Sweet grain, soft and pleasant aftertaste. Little alcohol heat. Ice leaves the grain and raisin sweetness but blands the toasted cereal and spice complexity. On the other hand, this makes an elegant Whiskey Highball with soda. Oh yeah! Very different from other Irish. Less iodine, more fruit than Redbreast 12. A softer fruitier version of the Green Spot, which I really like. I'm going to enjoy this bottle all the way to the bottom..
