BluehourCloud5 OctThe strongest point is the finish: it is described as long, with wood spice and toasted oak lingering alongside honeyed cereals and green apple. That gives the sweeter vanilla and orchard-fruit notes a more grounded, spicy counterpoint. The silky palate and robust pot still spices sound like a pleasing contrast, rather than a one-note sweet style. There is enough detail here to make this a compelling, balanced Irish whiskey, with the finish doing much of the work.
Orchard fruit, warmly spiced.
sundial.postcard29 AugThe ripe orchard fruit alongside sweet vanilla sounds like a friendly, approachable combination, while the pot still spices add a little more character. The notes suggest a nicely balanced Irish whiskey, with oak and spice carrying through to the finish.
