Amber and more reddish than Jameson or Bushmills. Fairly intense aromas of bread pudding, raisins, nutmeg, and lemon peel. A measured open with honey notes, then slightly smoky. Blossoms into nice malt flavors and delicate mouthfeel. Resembles a single malt Scotch. Smooth heat leads into a nice 45 second finish. There are some sherry notes at the end.  Tasted 4/12/2007.

Description


"This pure pot still whiskey is matured for a minimum of 12 years in sherry casks and Bourbon barrels. Like all good pot still whiskeys, it is strongly flavoured and assertive, making it a rare treat for the connoisseur of fine old whiskey." - From the manufacturer's website.
