I have to say that since I found Ad Gefrin just after the opened, I've been a fan - I like what they're doing, how they go about it and what they've created so far. This Batch 4 is perhaps slightly less complex than Batch 1, but it remains a very gentle, understated whisky. It has a beautiful nose, to me it's heather and mint, but it reveals itself to be something very special when sipped. I think I prefer it with just a drop of water, but that's me. They've taken the base elements of Irish and Scotch and made something greater than the sum of the parts; it holds it's own against whisky twice the price in my opinion.
Just tried my first dram of this whisky. I personally am not impressed as the Irish part seemed to be dominant. But will try again
While we wait for their first single, this is a fine and interesting blend. Tasting notes were pretty accurate. Very moreish, mellow yet complex. A visit to the distillery in Wooler is highly recommended
Tried this and to be honest, if they left only Irish in the bottle I’d give it 5 stars. They spoiled a good whiskey by adding poor quality scotch whisky to it. Price range, I would give it £15 at best for a mixer. You will find much better superior Irish whiskies for half this price, name Black Bush which is the best quality whiskey you can find on the market for the price. Others such as Silkie whiskies, Powers, Teeling etc.
Hadn't tried this before, or anything from this company, so wasn't sure what to expect. Initially wasn't sure with first dram but after few minutes in glass it really opened up, we had a few drams open but it was Tacnbora that people revisited. A perfect easy drinking dram and good value.
