Irish whiskey. Everyone has an affinity for a spirit, usually its the first love, and this is irish whiskey to me. If you are an irish whiskey fan this is perfection in a glass. It takes the top spot as far as I'm concerned. On the nose its a more delicate Jameson, slightly more complex, and very inviting. Mouth feel is sensual, smooth, oily and lingering. Taste is liquid gold, buttercream icing, butter biscuit, and melted caramel. The finish is long and wonderful, its so smooth that I tend to hold it in my mouth for a good 30 seconds, and thats where the wood, and complexity shine. Briliant.
