Lemon pie and orange blossoms with lemon poppy madeleines lingering in the stratosphere. Banana bread and cedar shavings. The bourbon barrel screams from the glass. Hazelnut and pecan turn creamy vanilla pudding, pine nut, grass clippings and charred bits, with a satisfying carbon and graphite in a lemon pith middle burning a hot streak.

Attention scotch lovers: if you love highlands scotch, this is Ireland's answer to the eastern side of the UK, a single pot still 12 year Irish whiskey! Nice spice, mellow smooth mouthfeel, maintaining the fruit body, and a woody smoke nose, overall, outstanding! Wish I could try the 15 and the expensive 21 year!

Matured in oloroso sherry casks; generous and refined with rich dried fruits, treacle, and toasted oak notes. A true contender, and more complex than most speysides at this price.

There is a note in the flavor I'm not a fan of but the rest of it flows nicely together. Enough burn to be satisfying going down and very big bodied.

Smoky and very one finish--if that's what you're after.
