This is the silkiest, most velvety Irish single malt I have ever encountered. With 53% alcohol, it has barely any burn, and that strength helps release a symphony of oils and tastes. It's essential for anyone who enjoys Irish Whiskey, and after trying it, the Copper Pot seems diluted.

Nose: fruity, vanilla, honey. Taste: Very brief finish, orange zest, some peppery spice. The more I consume it, the less I desire it.
Citrusy. Unsure of the specific release.
Excellent Irish whiskey. Best consumed neat.
Pleasant and great.
