Alright, time for some Irish Pot Still Whiskey! I have heard good things about this. I’m excited to check it out.
The nose is sweet, rich and beautiful. There is a buttery note up front along with sweet dried fruit like raisins and prunes. There is also some coconut vanilla syrup (if that is even a thing), a little pear juice, oak, light leather and a hint of baked bread.
The palate is light and sweet with a buttery texture. There is raisin, coconut, buttery fluffy biscuits (american), some peppery spice, sweet vanilla and oak.
The finish is medium in length with an initial hit of sweet leather right was you swallow, followed by a little bit of raisin and then vanilla cake that lingers until the end.
Wow I am impressed! This one reminds me a lot of a gentle sweet bourbon in a lot of ways. I don’t get very much malt on it, which is usually what gives away an Irish and definitely a Scotch. Just a nice buttery rich whiskey that keeps me wanting more. Now I can’t wait to get the cask strength!

@ContemplativeFox I have not yet but i am interested for sure
Have you tried the others in the Redbreast lineup @Ctrexman ?
Yeah, you're definitely right about that bourbon influence in this one. I've heard that it used to have some juicier fruit flavor, but I can't confirm personally.
@Ctrexman Thanks! And I agree, my favorite Irish as well.
Excellent assessment. This is my favorite Irish to date, my review shows my affection for this malt
