Sweet cereal grain on the nose, light. Sweet grain, floral grape, light oak and a whiff of smoke with mint spice coming on in the finish, which is fairly short. Delicate flavors hidden by dominant grain sweetness. Light in color, medium body and oily mouthfeel. A little Ice cube moderates the sweetness, stretches and rounds the flavors and finish. Works really well in a classic Whiskey Highball where the floral sweet blends with soda and ice. Initially disappointed by what seemed a one dimensional whiskey, but this Irish has grown on me, more as cocktail ingredient than as a sipper.
