Nose - Green apples, oak spice, and sweet vanilla. Hint of coconut. Taste - Corn syrup, fruity. Finish - Medium to long length. Metallic/vodka aftertaste. On the nose, this smells like a wheated bourbon blended with Irish shortbread. Very sweet and pleasant. On the palate, there's an initial burst of flavor and ethanol bite, but it's immediately turned down, sort of like when you start your car, but you forgot how loud the stereo was and you rush to turn the volume down. The finish is sweet and clingy. It tastes like a sugar and syrup solution. There's a hint of the metallic taste I get from Jameson that I typically associate with neutral spirits/vodka. I prefer the Teeling Small Batch to this, but it is still an enjoyable whiskey. I would call it simple compared to Teeling's other offerings, but more complex than many of the other, cheaper Irish whiskies I have tried
