Another Irish whiskey from The Pogues (yes, the band) and West Cork Distillers. The band's first foray into the world of whiskey was a brilliant Irish blend, and now we have a single malt, aged in bourbon oak casks before it was bottled up at 40% ABV. Now we're going to have Fairytale of New York stuck in our heads for the rest of the day.
Fairly floral, with lavendar, sesame snaps, caramelised nuts and salted chocolate.
Dry oak spice and chai spices, with peanut butter, s'mores and floral malt.
A gentle finish of lingering caramel alongside cinnamon stick.

Not sure if the nose and taste was intended to reflect the bands punk like tendencies, but this is overpriced, bad smelling and bad tasting whiskey. The verdict was that it was washed in poo... not recommended
rotting vegetation meets washing machine door seal stagnant water on the nose , vodka carried in a pine bucket from the still to a worn out barrel with 3 peanuts in it on the palate, a long sour aftertaste of overpriced bullshit , never never never again
On first glass, a very floral, with a splash of cabbage whiff. The palette is quite complex, not in an unpleasant way, almost dark chocolate with ginger aftertaste
I've never encountered such a dizzying after taste. It's remnant of Valt vodka with an overpowering nutty/caramel finish. Bought this on sale at £18 and I have been robbed. Stick with Jameson Caskmates Stout edition or Tullamore Dew for the price point. Order a measure in a bar, at most, if curiosity gets the better of you.
