Nose: Slight pear-drop note. Crisp green apple. Retro nasal offers a caramel toffee apple. Palate: Slighty oily texture. Sweet burst of concentrated white grape. Light oaky barrel spice. Orchard fruits. Finish: Lingering wine flavours and some dry tannins. Notes: This was fresh out of the bottle and I think it needs some time to itself to relax. I'll revisit it in a month or so.

Big fruity nose with a hint of fudge. Medium body, the wine cask contributes a sweetness that's not overwhelming, and it's fruity. Some confectioners sugar. There's a slightly sulfuric essence that's present but not strong enough to seriously detract. Overall it's pretty good, but I preferred the cask strength over this.
Has very characteristic notes similar to a scotch particularly those finished in a Sherry cask but has a nice Carmel apple finish and mouth feel you would get with the caramel.
Nice smoothness and sweetness, but something strange about the quality of the sweetness
Very light and refreshing. The ice wine notes shine through nicely.
Nice smell but disappointing in taste. Average irish wisky
