2019 Very Rare Irish Whiskey

Category: Irish Blended Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Sweet aromas and flavors of toffee popcorn, caramel-drizzled nuts, buttered toast, and bruleed apple with a supple, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a smooth, medium-length finish with accents of Ritz crackers, honey, sarsaparilla, and candied ginger finish. A ridiculously velvety Irish Blended Whiskey with a memorable buttery finish; the gentlest of drams.
