Not a fan of this one. Immediately hit and spicy, feeling similar to a high proof or younger whiskey. Overwhelmed much of the initial taste. Even tried it with two and four drops of whiskey, which didn’t seem to make much change. Flavor lingered for a while, finally toning down the heat and get a touch of fruit flavor, but mostly seemed like sucking on a jalapeño.
Incredibly smooth taste. Usual honey and vanilla of Irish whiskey. But some malt and smoke to it. Rich fruits and sherry. Some nuttiness. Quite complex yet easy to drink.
Real solvent aroma on the nose, in a likeable way though. Hints of cacoa nibs on the nose. Big spice hit, with grapefruit peel coming in on the finish.
Fruity, solvent, pear drops aroma. Complex and full bodied with a lingering spice finish
Nutty
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
