- More honey and fruit consistent with the nose
- Finish
- Short but pleasent, lingers on the tongue for a short time then dissappears
Great whisky, was surprised by how smooth it was for the price. an improvement on the 12 yr old which is saying something as that is one of my favorite younger whiskies. As good as it is however it does lack complexity and the finish isn't overly long.

- Color
- A wheaty amber colour
- Nose
- Rich honey, vanilla, mild peppery notes, sugary sweetness
- Body
- Young slightly brash but inviting
- Palate
- Sweet spice, fruit, honey and caramel, woody overtones
- Finish
- Warmth, spice & pepper, comes in light inviting and warming but ends a little quick for my liking
Overall a great Irish single malt I must say. Definately one that I very much enjoy partaking in my only real criticism is the sort finish but that being said it is a young malt.

- Color
- Pale gold
- Nose
- Light smoke, citrus (orange or lemon peel), candied fruits, slight hint of pepper
- Body
- Weak intensity, not overly pleasent
- Palate
- Slight peat & smoke similar to HP 12 yr old but weakened and not as flavourful, slight spice
- Finish
- Short finish, nice feeling on the tongue, slight smoke and spice
Not my favorite single malt, tastes like a watered down Highlan Park 12 without all the flavour and complexity. A decently pleasent finish but overall a rather uneventful whisky

A great Canadian Whisky, one of the best I've ever had. Lovely nose with great sherry notes and a hint of chocolate oranges. Truly the premium of Canadian whiskies.
