Vanilla, caramel. Apricots. Some cereal notes coming through. There's a green note as well, something like grass, or pear skin.
Taste:




Sweet arrival, stays sweet throughout. Initially dried fruits - trail mix. Transitions into fresher fruit, that apricot again. Then oak cask comes forward .Vanilla caramel notes throughout.
Finish:

Long and drying over time. Plenty of oak, though more woody than spicy. There's a light metallic note in there, sort of like you get from licking a copper coin.
Comment:
Buying this was a choice to try more mature irish whisky than I've had previously. The additional aging certainly lends it some character. The nose and palate are good, the nose could maybe be a little more intense. The finish is ok, but a little on dimensional other than that metallic note. Competent, but given the price I probably won't come back to it.
83/100
