Golden straw color. Wonderful nose of green apple, honey, peach, papaya, butterscotch, vanilla. Pleasantly viscous mouthfeel. A little white pepper bite initializes the finish, with lingering vanilla following. Alcohol nicely balanced (43.6% ABV). What I’d described on my last noted (1/15/24) as some slight bitterness I no longer detect, but see rather as a gentle espresso note. This is quality Irish Whiskey (non-chill filtered) at a reasonable price ($50-55). Easy drinking; no hard edges. Killed this bottle this evening but I’ll definitely look for another. 4.0 on the Distiller scale.
