Nose: Soft and sweet with thick honey spread on granary toast. Hints of citrus peels.

Palate: Honey develops on the palate. Mellow notes of vanilla and golden malt. Green apple skin, caramel and a hint of oak.

Finish: Warming, sweet and long.

Overall: Very yummy Irish whiskey indeed.

What I say:

Won as a sample at the end of one of our Water of Life Society tastings, I think this particular bottle was won in the Meet The Blenders Lottery from this years event.

Colour:

Full amber gold (10/20) thick heavy tears

Nose:

Floral and grassy, plenty of cereal grain, barley and wheat, sweetie shop aromas, foam banana and pear drops, slightly estery

Taste:

Very light and ethereal, a little thin and watery in texture, full of sweet honey and cereal barley malt, cinnamon and white pepper add a delicate spiciness, fruity apples and pears predominate, a little toffee oak wood

Finish:

Medium-short, fruity and sweet with more honey nature

Overall:

Very drinkable but a little forgettable too, good solid whisky and thankfully none of the metallic tang I used to associate with poor quality Irish pot still whisky. This is very light and honeyed in nature and difficult to find fault with except perhaps a little more character would have been retained at a slightly higher ABV?

Score: 83/100

Don’t take my word for it:
