Elias and Molly gave me a bottle of this as a parting gift; it was one of their favorites from their distillery tour in Ireland. It was also one of the first (and most memorable) Irish whiskeys I've tried, so it's an incredible treat to have a whole bottle to explore. The nose is an array of manuka honey, rain-soaked heather, spicebread, and chamomile. The palate strikes sweet at first — warm cocoa brownies, butterscotch, and baked red apples. Also at play is that "floral depth" that I recognized even as a rookie. (Is it from the grain? The triple distillation? Both?) With time and aeration, the nose becomes a bit grassier and the palate somewhat saltier. The grassy aroma is akin to that of a sunlit farmhouse — sweet, pleasant, timeworn. Despite the overall sweetness of this whiskey, I find a gently oily mouthfeel. The finish ties all these notes together beautifully, and the dried glass boasts oak and chamomile. A remarkable Irish.
