Interesting. I was not expecting that... Almost feels like they have placed some artificial flavoring to achieve the flavors I’m tasting.
Nose
Green Apple, it’s tarty and fruity smelling up front, pears. Vanilla creeps in right after. Short oak on a deep whiff.
Taste
Apple juice, white fruit... it’s like a subtle highland single malt. white pepper, minty finish. I don’t get the butteryness most Irish whiskys give.
Reminds me of the green apple caramel lollipops I used to eat as a kid, tangy and sweet. This dram is dangerous because it tastes like juice. Not in a bad way.
Mouthfeel
A very very short dram. Watery coming in, there’s a bit of spice and heat that wants to develop but falls shy of anything actually being there. Very feint heat present like a lit match blown out.
Overall I like it, but will probably not spend the money to buy the bottle again. This is a dram to me when you see it at the bar and there is nothing else you’d want, a fall back drink to order. I like it enough to drink it, but want to spend my money on something a little more nuanced . This is like the fruity Minute Maid juice you’d find in your fridge that your kids drink. Almost too sweet.
