Sweet on the nose with a solid dose of smoke, which is joined by honey, graham cracker and a whiff of rubber.
Thin to medium mouthfeel. Peat comes through prominently on the palate, along with honey, straw, cinnamon and a touch of menthol. This is really quite nice; it has solid complexity for the price point.
Long finish that kicks off with smoke and a touch of sherry character, followed shortly by vanilla, burnt sugar, allspice and a bit of oak.
Sweet, smoky and pleasant whiskey from The Muff (which, by the way, is named after a village in Ireland. Get your minds out of the gutter). This stands apart from a crowded low-to-mid-shelf Irish whiskey market thanks in large part to the peat, which is additive to the experience but not overwhelming. This isn't the most complex whiskey in the world, but it does have some real depth to it, and it's a rock-solid sipper at an affordable price. For a $35 Irish whiskey, you could do far worse.
