The cherry wood aging provides a unique whisky experience. Thankfully, Irish whisky maturation has fewer restrictions. The aroma is akin to someone painting a shed filled with green apples in a summer meadow. Cotton candy is present upon arrival, followed by a developing spicy wood sap. The finish is long and sweet. If you're seeking something different yet accessible, this is the whisky for you.

Exceptional pour! The aroma is fresh mown grass, apple, and a hint of cedar. The taste features apple and pear with vanilla and ginger, finishing with a robust woodiness. Evokes walking through an orchard on a fall day. Wonderful!
This was a gift from Ireland that I shared with my father. An outstanding whiskey, and sharing this special tasting experience makes it a perfect score for me.
Very sweet with occasional wafts of wood. It's quite light and effortless to drink.
Coconut notes with sweetness.
