    Color
    Deep straw,
    Nose
    Ethanol, oak, faint citrus, some peat
    Body
    Fiery yet full mouth-feel
    Palate
    Initial fire fades to peat and slight smoke, some sweetness, but mostly a dry shot.
    Finish
    Long peaty and warm. A head full of vapor and very light smoke.

    A very full mouth feel, warm and well-rounded. Nice smoke and peat without being medicinal or tasting like smokehouse almonds. A pleasant blend with a complex taste that develops nicely on the palate.

    Color
    Pale straw
    Nose
    Light ethanol, not a big nose by any means.
    Body
    Light and low viscosity. Not syrupy at all. Warm and light.
    Palate
    Smooth and light with oak hints and very slight hints of honey and clover.
    Finish
    Slight alcohol burn, fast finish with little to remark on.

    This seems to be a whisky that is light in both flavor and color. It is a gentle and subdued dram from the nose to the finish. Not much smoke, oak, or sweetness to taste. A great whisky for a warm spring day.

    Color
    Amber lager
    Nose
    Ethanol, vanilla, maple sugar
    Body
    Mildly syrupy
    Palate
    Scotch followed by a wonderful praline, vanilla, maple syrup, gingerbread cookies
    Finish
    Sweet, maple syrup, vanilla, bug spray

    This is my favorite Irish whiskey. It has a Scotch-like complexity followed by a wonderful maple syrup-like sweetness. Not cloying like a bourbon, but sweet like a gingerbread cookie. A great dessert whiskey. Highly Recommended!
