What they say

JJ Corry Almost 3 Year Old Grain – 61.5% ABV – Cask Sample. Matured in an Old Forester bourbon barrel.

What I say

Sampled as part of the JJ Corry Irish Whiskey Tasting #JJCorryWhiskey hosted by The Chapel Gate Irish Whiskey Company  and Steve @TheWhiskyWire

My tasting notes:

• Appearance: light champagne gold (3/20), large tears and medium legs
• Nose: light, floral, grassy, green, biscuit, lemon citrus, melon, fresh, honey, a little white pepper spice, vanilla,
• Taste: Fruity, peach, lemon, lime, apple, zesty, lemon puff biscuit, orange sherbet, cinnamon, slightly oily,
• Finish: Long, zesty, fruity and spicy

Overall

Young and feisty, with plenty of cask character already this is sure to mature into a very fine drop of whiskey.

Score 80/100
