N: The rum influence is immediately noticeable. Banana, molasses, caramelized brown sugar. More traditional Irish whiskey orchard fruits are there too - peach, pear, apple. There's a sticky bread scent, maybe with a hint of cinnamon. Quite the menagerie of flavors. Very interesting and engaging. P: Soft and supple mouthfeel, borders on oily. Less rum influence, maybe. You get the orchard fruits first, but they're baked into a bread pudding now. Finish is cinnamon and fits nicely with the bread pudding flavor. The rum influence is there, but more in the background on the tongue, which is honestly a nice complication. Makes this kinda smell like a rum, but taste like an Irish whiskey. I like that. A lot. This is unique and fantastic. I will probably grab a few bottles to keep and impress friends with. It's undeniably an Irish whiskey, but the rum influence is perfectly executed and the end result is fascinating and immensely enjoyable.
