So, i was in Cuenca, a very beautiful city in the ecuadorian highlands, in a quite nice restaurant, when suddenly the manager recognized me (because of my instagram page) and he offered me some whiskies that i have never seen before. Indeed he showed me an irish whiskey, called "Barr un Uisce", a single malt actually, 16yo, bottled no.0502 of only 1803 ever made. Pretty neat stuff. Bottled at 46%. On the nose this is the greenest apple of all the green apples ever made. Pears. Super fruity. If i would taste this on a blind tasting i would have guessed it to be a Glenfiddich 12yo. On the palate, again this green apple profile. Clove, recently cut grass. Hay. Aftertaste gave me a very interesting little puff of smoke; burnt hay and apple pie. Overall, if this one was a scottish dram, it would feel as the most standard whisky ever. Since it is an Irish single malt, this one feela completely well crafted and very different from your standard whiskies from that great country. I believe Ireland is making a comeback and this type of releases are a living proof of that statement. My score for it is a solid 84 over 100.
