  • The only thing keeping it out of the 90s is that it’s a wee bit heavy on the barley notes which dulls the complex just enough enough to keep it out. Regardless, its’ still very nice whiskey indeed.

  • This is less creamy than the Green Spot and finishes with a gentle bite from the proof.

  • Interestingly complex while veering a bit off the well worn path; an Irish Whiskey for sipping with seafood along the Portuguese coastline.
