A beautiful pure pot still whiskey (or "single pot still" as it's now officially known). Triple copper pot distilled from a combo of malted and unmalted barley, this whiskey aged in a combo of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks for a rich, thick, sweet, pungent whiskey with impressive depth and complexity.
Fruity and tangy. Notes of zesty citrus, cut hay, guava, beeswax, manuka honey and tropical fruits.
Creamy and smooth, notes of cooked fruits, fried banana, orange groves, nutmeg, butterscotch and caramel lattes.
Custard, peppermint and grapefruit.
Its my favorite Irish out there; and I cannot understand why anyone would want to drink anything else. It's great beginning to end, you can count on that.
Butterscotch (or is it butterirish?) for sure. I love the simplicity and the mouthfeel of this. Medium-heavy viscosity but light on alcohol punch and oak. Just a little sweet for my taste. I prefer the sourness of say the Glen Grant 16, which has an otherwise-identical mouthfeel and finish and is a bit cheaper.
Nice but in the same price range as redbreast 12 year cask strength which is much much better
Too sweet for me, a lot of honey going on. I much prefer the 12 yr RB.
This is the absolute best whiskey that I have ever sipped. I I tried this on my 75th birthday while on a visit to Ireland. Had this at Flannagans and the owner, Michael, recommended it. One good thing about drinking it over there is that it was cheap. Only 7 euros a shot, or $10 US. This is much smoother than Scotch or aged Straight Tequila, or even some of the best bourbons. I don't think I can go back once I have tried the best whiskey in the world.
