Tasting notes Ruben Luyten - WhiskyNotes: Score 85/100
Nose: nicely sherried, but not with the usual raisins and plums. In this case you’ll find roasted hazelnut, a certain dusty tobacco note and some coffee. Hints of old bodegas. Also rather clean gunpowder. There’s an orange note underneath, perhaps a little peach, but not much of the typical Irish fruitiness in this case.
Mouth: same balance between the wood smoke and gunpowder, mingling with blackberries, milk chocolate and cinnamon. Liquorice. Hints of cherry brandy and exotic wood. Just a light hint of the expected pink grapefruit in the end.
Finish: long, spicy and herbal, with a lingering nuttiness.
This was a bit of a surprise. The sherry is not very typical, nor very thick and it takes away most of the typical Irish fruitiness. Yet it works and it’s interesting – you may want to see what it’s about.
