gabericharde 3.8

[LOOK] Deep straw [NOSE] Powdery floral fresh grain, sweet straw, faint honey glaze, soft, not highly pronounced but soft and eager [PALATE] Sweet entry of honeyed grain that segues into fusel-y bitterness, fennel bitters, faint pear, sweetens up into unripe orchard fruits with rancid butter [FINISH] Ends with a classic ashy wisp, good balance of heat, ginger, and singed barley husk [MOUTHFEEL/NOTES] Soft entry, delicate until bitter and fervent mid palate, low burn and grain forward finish, excellent Irish whisky. Could have used more approachable fruit, but for what I believe they are going for, solid!
