My senses are confounded on this one. Pronounced unripe banana and some cream soda vanilla (the unmalted barely signature of traditional Irish Pot-Still whiskey, not always to my liking). Light tart nectarine, bourbon oak spices. Hints of maple syrup lurk beneath. Intense palate, sweet, something wine-like, but not exactly sherry sweet (could this be the Malaga casks?). Warming and even sweeter with added water. Huge finish, bourbon-like cinnamon with malt and rich wood that lingers. Good when the mood strikes, but I can't say it's better than the much more available and affordable Green Spot, to my memory. I'm afraid my palate is becoming too narrow to properly appreciate single pot-still Irish unmalted barely components... my brain goes on green-banana / bourbon-alert...Dry glass: "please pass the soda bread and honey, dearie.
