Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Malty, vanilla nose, somewhat spiritous/alcoholy. The palate is yummy, though there's almost too much of that alcohol/spiritous edge -- but the rest is darn tasty. Malty, with those hints of Whoppers candy that I often find in Irish whiskies. In a way, this hits me very similarly as Bushmills 16 (which I prefer), but that is more expensive I guess, and older... anyhow, I like this a lot.

Chris

N: Toffee, leather.
P: Thick and coating, considerably malty, spicy, rich, and balanced.
F: Light fruity / floral.

Dave

Oddly enough I liked this. Still rather....erm....Irish and has that classic sweet grassy note but the palate has some chocolately/tobacco notes that give this some complexity. Better than most Irish.

Sku

Nose: malt, hay, floral.

Palate: sweet, some fruit (pears), some malt.

Finish: Very nice malty finish with some fruit.

Ries

Almonds, orange furniture wax, and ginger bread cookies. Middle is more dried apricots; sweet and oily with a hint of vanilla. Light sherry influence.
