Extremely faint on the nose. Most difficult whiskey I have had to pick up a nosing profile. Nose has vanilla and slight orange notes. On the taste it's wheat cereal and honey notes. The finish brings light toasted bread along with traces of cocoa and light oak. Thankfully it has a surprisingly longer finish than I expected due to the nose being so light, medium length. There are better Irish malts finished in bourbon barrels available for this price range, Powers Bushmills Jameson.

The Sexton is on my Irish short list to try. I'm no Irish expert myself, but for something in the daily/mixer range, Black Bush would be my go-to. For maybe $12 more, I'd consider Jameson Black Barrel to be a good step up and Redbreast 12 to be another step up for another $12. I think @Ctrexman likes Writers Tears for somewhere between the cost of Jameson BB and Redbreast 12 @gromnir
admittedly I dont have very much experience with Irish malts. so far they are the most hit and miss of all the traditional whiskey regions. what are some good values? Black Bush or Sexton? @ContemplativeFox
Thanks for comparing with some of the other staples :)
