Vanilla cream with hints of oak, apples, and cereals mixed in. There is a tease of raspberry underneath. The longer it sat, the more the berries showed up, bringing along green banana, and the vanilla cream transitioned to just the neutral tartness of a plain yogurt with the berries, cereal, and banana being the main attractions. On the palate, I could only think of this as a rustic, simple breakfast consisting of several courses. It started with sugar frosted berries, primarily raspberries and blueberries, with mint leaves mingled in. The underripe banana then gets cut into slices on top of the cereals and light cream as toast with orange marmalade gets placed on the table. At the end, a bowl of sugared porridge gets placed down and dusted with oak and baking spices. The whole thing, despite the sweetness, tastes wholesome, clean, and fresh, leaving me thinking of enjoying that breakfast on a warm sunny day with nothing more to look forward to than taking a nap under a shady tree after eating my fill. I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the Redbreast Lustau or 12yr and is likely to become my Irish of choice.

@1901 Thanks! I love a whiskey that tells me a story.
Nice review and imagery. I'm with you that it's a fine daily dram.
