Tried at Dan's Bicton tasting. This was my favourite of some great stuff sampled. I've never tried something that has more of a clean and identifiable hit of fruit in it than this. It really stands up on the palate. Right in the middle, BANG fruit. What I couldn't do though is say exactly which fruit, but it was tropical and closest I could guess was pineapple. So interesting with that loud fruit note in the middle that invites you to keep sipping. I like interesting and enjoyed this one for sure. Is limited edition and $200 as of now - Dog bought a bottle after the tasting so hopefully get to sample it again with him

This is a double distilled malt from the Bushmills distillery not the Cooley distillery. it was distilled by then master distiller Frank McHardy. It was an experimental single malt that was never released due not fitting into Bushmills ethos.
Continuing the notes from my recent Teeling tasting, this lightly peated malt is another fruity and spicy treat from the family vaults. Lovely mouthfeel and flavors of peaches and cream, if not quite as great as the best Revival releases.
Alot of different flavors seem to hit you at once with this. Sadly none of the flavors are very good. It is fruity almost a fig taste to me. Interesting,but don't really recommend it.
smells expensive, tastes expensive, must be expensive... #FromIreWithLuva
