4 | Spirits | Ireland, 1.75 L

"The bouquet features charred paper smells of toasted walnuts, roasted chestnuts, paraffin, cardboard, parchment, dry grain and herbs. Entry is grainy sweet and moderately oily; the midpalate stage is loaded with grainy breakfast cereal flavors and, at times, even comes off like oatmeal. Ends well on an oily, satiny note." 85-89 pts.

"Chocolate-covered crushed hazelnuts and almonds aromas with a deft touch of mint and coconut. A rich, satiny entry leads to a plush, moderately sweet medium-full body of toasted coconut, delicate marzipan, mint leaf, and creamy nougat flavors. Finishes effortlessly with roasted walnuts and a breath of whisky. Remarkable texture and smoothness. A classic cream liqueur."

"Old gold color. Dried peach, golden raisin, fig, praline, and spicy cocoa aromas. A soft, silky entry leads to a dryish medium body of creamy vanilla, maple on porridge, and dried fruit flavors. Finishes with a smooth, delicately spicy, melted toffee fade. A fine sipper. Best Buy."

"The nosing passes find pleasantly dry, grainy and stone-like aromas with subtle notes of grass, grain kernel, beans and granite. Entry is clean, off-dry and intensely grainy; the midpalate tastes are more stony/mineral andgrainy. Ends on a grainy, sweet, tangy and spirity note."

"Aromas of sweet cream, roasted nuts, golden raisin, an delicate spice follow through on a supple, satiny entry to a moderately sweet medium body with nice balance and a fresh whipped cream and delicate wet stone fade. A very nicely crafted and balanced Irish cream liqueur."

"Lovely scents of sweet grains, sugared breakfast cereal and pine make for pleasing sniffing. Entry is nimble, gently sweet, almost piney and honeyed; the midpalate stage carries on with style and smoothness, as the taste profile remains steadfast and mildly sweet. Finishes with a honey thrust that’s exhilarating and delightful." 85-89 pts. Reviewed by: The Wine Enthusiast 85pts
