Finish: Mustard.
Comment: A classic Irish, though less full in flavour than Jameson.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Grainy from the off, but just a little more pot still sturdiness than of yore. A touch fruity but overall quite uninspiring.
Palate: Much more toffee-vanilla than in recent years; enormously soft and completely lacking richness.
Finish: Dries as the oak takes over; becomes even bitter.
Comment: An unwieldy blend which disappoints thanks to its refusal to offer anything but a grainy, almost metallic hardness against an uncomplex softness.
Score: 5
