Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of green apple, light honey, butterscotch, and caramel malt with a velvety, bright, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, intriguing, medium-length finish manifesting nuances of honey caramel grain, green apple, pear drops, and lemongrass and white flowers. Light-bodied with classic green apple and honeyed grains; a welcoming everyday tipple that will be well at home in any glass regardless of what else is or isn’t in it.

About
Irish Blended Whiskey
Blended Irish Whiskey is a blend of malt and grain whiskies that makes up a large majority of Irish Whiskey production. It can be blended with Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, allowing for any combination of the three to fall under the category. Any grains may be used, as well as it may be distilled in pot and/or column stills, and it may be made at a single distillery or multiple distilleries.
