Because you have to celebrate St. Patrick's Day properly... I picked up this bottle tonight to be all proper. I've had the regular NAS Tullamore Dew, so I felt this was appropriate and relatively cheap to add a new Irish whiskey to my portfolio. This bottle comes in at the standard 40% ABV and is a beautiful, golden yellow in the tasting glass. It makes lots of long, skinny legs when you spin it. On the nose there's a good bit of vanilla and oak tannins. It's kind of shallow and taking in a big whiff doesn't add anything nor does it give off any heat. Ehh. The palate is ridiculously soft with tons of vanilla and a bit of malty sweetness. Again, nothing too harsh or unexpected. The finish is light and quick, making this a totally boring dram. It's as non-offending as an Irish whiskey comes and that makes it crushable on any given day, especially on this Irish holiday. Happy St. Patrick's Day and cheers my Distiller friends. Stay safe and get sauced!
