"The bouquet aromas include barley malt, asparagus, hollandaise, dry breakfast cereal, white peppercorns and salt. Entry is soft, citrusy-orangy, moderately baked and toasty; an almond nougat taste enters at midpalate and nicely offsets the dry maltiness and vegetal flavors. Shows solid presence and a hint of heather in the finish." 85-89 pts.

"Deep amber color. Butter roasted nut, cocoa powder and toast aromas follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body of with lovely notes of dark toffee and brown spices. Finishes with a lingering, chocolate malt, peppery spice, and wet stone fade. Very nice, delicate and flavorful."

"..something of a cult legend in Ireland, my guess is that it has the chance to become the same in the U.S.; a dandy example of a pure pot still whiskey."
