Nose is soft and soapy, with hints of heather followed immediately by a blast of fruit. Palate backs up the nose, being soft and creamy, with fruit once again being the dominant flavor. Hints of vanilla and honey come and go, leading to a very slight alcohol drying and a little taste of brown sugar and caramel. The finish is short and again very, very sweet. Overall, this is a very drinkable whisky with good body and light, sweet flavors.
Tasted as a series, with Jameson Black Barrel, Jameson 12yr, Redbreast 12yr and Green Spot. Ranking based on flavor from best to worst is Jameson 12yr, Tyrconnell, Redbreast 12yr, Jameson Black Barrel, and Green Spot. When value is factored in, the rank order is Jameson 12yr, Tyrconnell Single Malt, Jameson Black Barrel, Green Spot and Redbreast 12yr.

I'm surprised! Tyrconnell was one my my first bottle purchases and I had loved it. However with the passage of time I've grown to keep it at arms length. Something about the leather texture and super sweet banana flavors have been putting me off. I am super interested in what the 16 year old has to offer...
