Date Tasted:
6/24/2024

Gold color. Aromas and flavors of pine forest, vanilla sour cream frosting, green apple, and lemon and honey in green tea with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, involved, medium-long finish that exhibits nuances of lemon pound cake, vanilla sour cream frosting, toasted mixed nuts, and cinnamon spice on nougat. This Whiskey has a beautiful nose and reaches up to greet you, almost like a Hot Toddy straight out of the bottle.

About
Irish Single Malt Whiskey
Single malt Irish whiskeys, like their Scottish cousins, are whiskies that are only made with malted barley. They are usually triple distilled through both column and pot stills, although there are a few exclusively pot-distilled brands.
