Nose
Brown sugary spice cabinet with nutmeg, saltwater toffee, maple, and gingerbread notes; rich vanilla bean present
Palate
Sugar, maple, and allspice forward with lingering white pepper spice from the unmalted barley; light fruity notes including seared pear; velvety mouth-coating texture with good viscosity
Finish
Spiced finish with tingling sensation dancing on the tongue; char influence present but balanced; not overpowering
Top notch
A grain-forward, well-balanced single pot still whiskey that successfully marries Irish distillation tradition with American virgin oak aging, offering compelling complexity for the category.
