I noticed this is currently rated a tier higher than The Irishman Founders here at Proof66. This is a blend of 20% malt and 80% grain, whereas The Irishman is a blend of malt and pot still whiskies. I was intrigued as to why the rankings were seemingly reversed as to what one would expect. The answer is this is a very expert blend. (Some well done and balanced Scotch blends are superior to several single malts---think Compass Box.) Poured neat, this is a light golden amber. The nose is slightly sweet, honey-citrus, and a little floral. Taste is vanilla, oak, some spiciness and a glow of heat on the end. These flavors are also on the finish, and they linger! It seems to me the longer I hold this whisky in my mouth to enjoy the balanced interplay of flavors, the longer the finish lasts. I am certainly glad I gave this a try. The price is fair as well, $25 in my area.
