You can smell 4 things: flowers, well water and alcohol. It’s very front heavy. I will say, it’s got a lot more body than I would have expected from an Irish. But that’s partially due to the 92 proof. It’s got that little bit of heat from the higher alcohol content. The finish is a tad bit hot, but the linger is incredible, although brief. It’s kinda like, “k bye!” after a few seconds. Good dram! Lives up to what an Irish can be.
