A fruity, slightly smokey and bright nose. Impressive smoothness for a relatively high ABV, adding low end theatrics to a very grape forward single malt. The autumnal qualities are quite apparent, as the flavors come together with harvest-like flavors of vine fruit, field barley and malt, along with aging cut wood stave. The muscat flavor goes on and on, with a record breaking finish that doesn't stop for several minutes. Overall, this is a unique Irish expression that will appeal to wine lovers as well as whiskey enthusiasts.
