Tasting Notes

Peter Mulryan Nose Fruit scones with burnt raisins. Palate That crackling pot still and sherry wood combination is knockout here, beautifully balanced with toasted vanilla notes and sunflower seeds. Finish Slightly bitter. Burnt hops, toffee on the stove. Very long. Comment This is a super little whiskey; a premium Jameson clone. And a good one too.

Dave Broom Nose Firm with some unmalted barley notes. Rich tea biscuit, slightly grassy and oily. Wild herbs (tarragon) and a hard note right in the centre. Palate Light bodied. Chewier than the nose suggests with nutmeg and a mouth filling character. Finish Nutty, good, spicy. Comment Well made and quite delicate. Decent balance.
