Category: Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 43%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of apple blossom and honey on a warm multi grain biscuit, marzipan, pecan, and chocolate covered orange with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and an interesting, long finish that presents accents of brown sugar and molasses, apple and pecan, and toasted brioche. A full bodied, rich, and wonderful Single Malt that’s full of flavor and character, and asks to be pondered over; pair with a moderately robust cigar.
