"Reminiscent of an oaked Chardonnay with a bit more muscle to it, this vibrant yellow-gold whiskey has a sweet vanilla flavor at first, with hints of tropical fruit and bracing smoke and oak. Give it some time in the glass to open up and let an initial resin-like scent dissipate. Smooth feel." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine "Bright gold color. Delicate, fruity, attractive aromas of pineapple upside down cake, creme brulee, toffee, and cedar with a velvety, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a peppery, distinctive, long honey toasted nuts and cereal, baking spices, dried fruits, and leather finish. A great Irish whisky with wonderful layers of spice, fruit, and grain." —Beverage Testing Institute
