Lots of smoke, honey, brown sugar and bitter orange peel. To date, the best Irish I have tasted.

Varnished chestnuts on the nose followed by sweet black cherry soda on the palate. It's different. One could imagine an Irish style bourbon.

Wonderful sweet sherry and peat aromas, almost like eating sherry peat shortbreads. While clearly a robust dram, it is nevertheless gentle and very well balanced with sweet peat domintating throughout.

Round, floral notes moving to drier vegetal notes with a hint of ginger on the nose. Apples with incense accompanied by a very present, but not totally robust, drying mouthfeel. Medium finish.
