The taste is light, slightly sweet but not saccharine. This would definitely would be accessible to anyone unfamiliar with Irish whiskey or pot still whiskey.
Golden honey sweetness, light citrus, green apple, peach pit, dried apricot, cereal notes, creamy vanilla, and a firm strand of pot still spiciness. Dry spice heat, citrus peel, and a dark vanilla aftertaste.
The taste is oily, thick, and full-bodied with good spicy notes of cinnamon and black pepper, dark chocolate and caramel underneath with toasted oak and a subtle maltiness. The finish is long, smooth, and spicy with a good balance.
The whiskey goes down so easily it’s hard to stop with just one glass — and while its initial softness might make the spirit feel simple, underneath that veneer is the essence, well, of Ireland.
