Nose
Fresh, clean linen. Alder. Bath oil.
Palate
Firm. Oiled wood. Out of the sauna to a cup of tea. Quite strong flavours. Aromatic and refreshing.
Finish
Gunpowder tea. A minor explosion.
Comment
Robustly sexy. I always enjoy Jameson, but I really relished coming to grips with this one.

Nose
Soft, rich, juicy: apricot, dried fruits, orange, butterscotch, hazelnut butter. Water brings out sherry, becoming chocolate and bourbon biscuit.
Palate
A luscious, oily sweetness with a crisp solidity on the palate, then a burst of dried fruits, spices and citrus fruits.
Finish
Rich, soft honeyed.
Comment
I could drink this all day. A classic Irish whiskey.
