I find the aroma quite sexy. The palate is big, but the finish leaves me wondering about the casks.

Taster

Nose: Creamy. Cedary. Fresh sweat. Aromatic.

Palate: Firm. Full flavours. Nutty. Very toffeeish. Apricot-like.

Finish: Spicy. Slight sulphur.

Comment: I find the aroma quite sexy. The palate is big, but the finish leaves me wondering about the casks.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Sherry so thick you can cut through it.

Palate: Gloriously fat and rich; delicious barley, intermingling with juicy plums. Big and sturdy throughout.

Finish: A peppery spice begins to formulate, as does the drier oak. But it is the softness of the grain which impresses most.

Comment: This is a great Irish whiskey where the faultless sherry is played and controlled to near perfection.

Score: 9
