Taster

Nose: Fruit scones with burnt raisins.

Palate: That crackling pot still and sherry wood combination is knockout here, beautifully balanced with toasted vanilla notes and sunflower seeds.

Finish: Slightly bitter. Burnt hops, toffee on the stove. Very long.

Comment: This is a super little whiskey; a premium Jameson clone. And a good one too.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Firm with some unmalted barley notes. Rich tea biscuit, slightly grassy and oily. Wild herbs (tarragon) and a hard note right in the centre.

Palate: Light bodied. Chewier than the nose suggests with nutmeg and a mouth filling character.

Finish: Nutty, good, spicy.

Comment: Well made and quite delicate. Decent balance.

Score: 8
