Beau­ti­fully bal­anced pure pot still Irish Whiskey. In the view of many con­nois­seurs, the finest Irish whiskey avail­able. “…an aston­ish­ing expe­ri­ence” 9/10 Jim Mur­ray in Whisky Magazine.

Nose: Clean, fresh. Hint of lin­seed. Nuts. Cake.
Palate: By far the biggest of this selec­tion. Assertive and com­plex, with lots of devel­op­ment and seem­ingly infi­nite dimen­sion. Gin­ger cake, brazil nuts, trea­cle.
Fin­ish: Liquorice-like sherry notes.
Com­ment: Deli­cious, sooth­ing, con­tem­pla­tive. A great whiskey. Makes me want to get on a plane to Dublin imme­di­ately.
Score: 9 / 10
