"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."

"The smashing bouquet features delightful notes of toasted wheat bread, oatmeal, black raisins, trail mix, roasted chestnuts, bacon fat, sweet butter, ruby Port and prunes. Entry is peppery, moderately sweet and smoky; midpalate features succulent tastes of dark chocolate-covered cherries and strawberries, honey and smoked nuts. Finishes elegantly and clean, with deft traces of smoke and cocoa." 96-100 pts.
