It's snack time at the movies on the nose here - specifically, chocolate covered raisins and peanuts. If you like those peach and vanilla gummy chews, you can find a hint of that in the nose, too. The palate is appealingly fruity with plenty of white peach, crunchy cereal (Grape Nuts?), and surprisingly little sherry influence. Enjoyable, if not spectacular.

I like what I've had from them. The Walsh Distillery in Carlow is turning out some good stuff these days, too - the Irishman line of products (or at least what I've sampled) has been quite good, and Writer's Tears is one of the better Irish blends on the market.
Nice review, Rev. This distillery is probably my favorite from Ireland. We get a lot of their bottlings here in Virginia- I’ll have to keep my eyes out for this one.
