"** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice.
This was high on my list for the VIP hour and I’m glad I found my way to this table. This was a solid pour, even as the rep kept trying to get us to try the 15yo instead. He reluctantly poured the 25 and we quickly dashed before he got even more pushy.
They were next to my favorite Irish whiskey- West Cork, and I wanted to try everything they brought, but he was hawking me and made me nervous so I had to bounce. Missed out on a couple of West Cork because of that creepy dude. I felt like Rodney Dangerfield when he would nervously pull at the collar of his shirt whenever he got surprised or felt uncomfortable, lol.

@Soba45 - I damn sure did, didn’t I? Lol. I remember it being pretty good actually. Plenty of port wine sweetness, but it was another one kind of like the Tullibardine 25- the oak notes were overshadowed and the lower ABV kept all the heat away. These cheaper bottles are nice on the wallet, but they really leave you hanging when you’re looking for the depth and complexity of a well-aged Macallan or GlenDronach. They make for good sippers, just not overly interesting ones. You gotta pay for that, I guess. Lol
So how was the whiskey? You missed that part out:-)
