Lambay Malt Irish Whiskey

An important meeting with Japanese clients... in a wine establishment... We discussed business for about 5-10 minutes, and the rest? We drank!! Musical accompaniment: Yo-Yo Ma's "Japanese Melodies"... a track my client played from his phone!! 😆🎶 Before you read my assessment, please understand that I'm not a Whisky connoisseur, so don't take my word for it..😅 Regarding the drink: If I were blindfolded, I'd say it was water with spoiled alcohol... again, this was a sample bottle, so I suspected a storage issue... but I couldn't stomach it..😅

A very malty nose. Small hints of honey, dried fruit, cinnamon. Peppery and nutmeg taste. A lot of nose again and some sharp dried fruits.. Long lingering malty finish. Notes of sweet as well as spice. Malt is dominant throughout here.

Remarkably mellow, with just a whisper of warmth on the tongue but no sting going down.

Light and fruity. I liked this one.

A pleasant and easy-drinking whiskey.

A holiday fruitcake character with a touch of brine.
