The Whistler Natural Cask Strength 7 Year

First pours were just amazing. I cant wait to see how it opens up. On the nose, immediate warm brown sugar and little to no phenolic smells at all. Very surprising with the 59%abv I could smell this for days. After first sip the lightest hint of fruit comes through. Proofed down, a pepper note covers the brown sugar and seems to just make it a brighter nose all together. On the palate, a slightly sweet deep wood note that is followed by a now creamy brown sugar maltyness (reminiscent of the butter note pot still Irish has) and finishes with a very inviting hot heat instead of a spicy heat which I was anticipating. The high abv shows itself in the end of the finish with phenol taste residing in the throat. Palate doesn’t change too much on second sip, you’re just more ready for the woody goodness. So tasty and heartwarming I don’t want to add water lol but for science I must. After proofing down, it starts with a bold creamy feel with the wood notes expressing themselves more individually but residing in the cream. The hot finish has subsided and a soft creamy brown sugar warms the back of the throat. Phenomenal whisky. Dangerously tasty.

Really hot with a long burn, leather on the nose, wine notes, raisins, fruity, apricots, lemon, and lime. Cools after a firey start. velvet mouthfeel. some banana skin. a rock house of a whiskey and my best one yet (blind tasted) 20/05/20

Love the strength of this whisky. I added some water and felt honey and other nice sweet aromas on the nose. Taste is great and sweet as well. I find this whisky pretty similar to Jack Daniels Honey but without the excessive sweetness.

Definitely enjoyed, kind of light with a bite but we’ll rounded. Solid for an Irish whiskey. Would buy. Brooke really liked!

My menu doesn't say cask strength, but if these are the same, wow. Very good.

de 10 jaar geproefd. iets pittiger met lange afdronk. redelijke whiskey
