Nose: Candied orange rind sits atop sweet cherries in syrup. A little pink grapefruit shows up after a while, though not the sourness usually associated with them. Some allspice accompanies the alcohol burn at the end.
Palate: Mouthwatering plum sweetness rounds out into nutty malt notes, like toasted sweet almonds. Darker honeycomb with a subtle allspice accent are followed by a subtle toasted coconut. A bit of cinnamon bark shows up now with soft red apples.
Finish: Medium length, absolutely mouthwatering. Creamy sweetness and toasted almond are accompanied by flighty oak spice. Might I say overtones of butterscotch?

Good review :-). It was the dram that converted me to Irish Pot Still from memory.
