Blended — Ireland

Tasted a 2019 bottling.
Nose:
Mellow and yet moderately rich at the same time. Freshly cut apple and pear, classic toffee, vanilla, malty, no grain at all. It's also a bit funky, like perfume. Very inviting for a blend.
Taste:
Smooth and mellow here too. Very malty. It's young but at least 5 years old for sure. Apple, pear and toffee dominate this very malty palette with an unmistakable bourbon cask profile. No grain stands out here either.
Finish:
This is where it falls short, because the finish is barely there at all. At this point I can reliably say this is a great blend that's sadly been watered down way too hard.
Final thoughts: I'm aware this is 60% single malt and 40% pot still, so it's not your classic Irish blend. It's much closer to a single malt than most drams at this price point. Would have been more interesting at higher ABV, but it's still very decent and recommended regardless.
