Lemon zest combines with grassy fields, a hint of sweet grain, honey, and black pepper. It evolves into light vanilla oak and apple notes. The initial taste is sweet vanilla honey, with some alcoholic warmth, transitioning into grass and grain flavors, a bright burst of lemon, and finishing with orange vanilla cream. The finish has a moderate to moderately long duration.
This is a smooth spirit with subtle spice and abundant caramel and vanilla from its time in ex-bourbon casks. It's enjoyable for sipping and excellent in an Old Fashioned.
Nose: Intensely sweet honey aroma, with vanilla characteristic of bourbon cask aging. A hint of tart apple. (I can't compare precisely without Glenmorangie Original, but it has a similar feel.) Palate: Vanilla, honey, alcohol impact, a slight tartness. Finish: Moderate length.
Based on the description, I anticipated more. It sounded like Jameson aged in bourbon barrels. It turned out to be a lighter version of Jameson. Quite disappointing.
Remarkably smooth, starting with honey and finishing with a lingering pear taste and a hint of spice. It's an engaging spirit to sip.
Light, fruity, with apples (though that might be influenced by suggestion). An easy spirit to drink.
