The nose jumps out of the glass with strong fig, dried apricots, dates, real maple syrup, and funny enough roasted chestnuts. Not a lot of the traditional Irish notes I was used too but could still place it as an Irish with the amount of rich butter. The taste gives you everything in the nose but the amazing butteriness, shortbread, cream, and little bit of spice that comes with Teeling. There are a couple flavors that are distinct but I still can’t place. Finish is long and unfolding more of the dark fruit and nutty notes.
