Gold color. Aromas and flavors of hot beeswax, and lavender honey, honeycomb cereal, candied green apple, baked pear, and orange preserves on baked brie, lemon tea, chai tea, and and anise with a round, crisp, bone-dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish revealing nuances of orange marmalade on toasted whole grain bread, garden herb and chive cheese umami, and red apple. A benchmark example of Irish Whiskey and the tremendous class of the pot still category.
