The nose starts with a soft mix of barely and honey wrapped in creamy oak. There is a floral element that is somewhat hoppy, showing some influence from the IPA finish that also shows a hint of green apple. As gentle as the nose it is, it is also inviting. The palate has a soft pepperiness to it as the smooth oak hits the corners of your mouth while barely and honey go over the top of the tongue. Touches of green apple sweetness swirl in and out, something you wouldn't expect from a whiskey that has been in contact with IPA influences. The finish is somewhat short with a lingering pepper spiciness that takes your focus away from the creamier notes that fade pretty quickly. As simple as this is, it is still quite enjoyable and a fun take on Irish Whiskey.
