You owe it to yourself to sample this fine spirit. Rich in character, velvety smooth texture, beautiful finish ! Yes, I know, single, single........ but you will be rewarded with its silky sherry overtones. Yes !

Delicious. Smooth and more than a little rye-like. Which is just fine by me. Easily the best-tasting Irish whiskey I've ever tasted.

Speaking from experience, trying this stuff will convert the snootiest Cognac aficionado into a remarkably devoted Irish Whiskey connoisseur. It's that smooth. At this price point, no finer Whiskey exists.

This whiskey will rival the best single malts out there. One sip and you're hooked. Incredibly smooth, complex and well rounded. Even my wife, who has never previously touched whisky, was taken over.

found it on this site first...i have only started my journey with whisk(E)y but this one is a beauty. Everybody should try it. I cant get my hands of it. Lovely nose, taste is smooth and rather gentle (chocolate, dried plums (?)) recommended!

An old friend bought but one single bottle of this whiskey as we awaited the funeral of the wife of my oldest friend. I had never heard of it. In a few hours of swapping lies and recalling ourselves aswere better then ever we were, I was astonished by the smooth, rich and complex taste of this amazing dram. If you are under 50, then fine, but if you are of mature years, don't rob yourself of years of pleasure drinking this wonder of Ireland.

Forget about the over-done reviews about the Nose, Palate

Not really an Irish fan but with these reviews, who could resist? I'm still not a fan! Don't misunderstand, it's a sweet, smooth and flavoursome dram but it's almost one dimensional, certainly doesn't "evolve" from the first sip. The sole additional layer of flavour is an unidentifiable, musty, unpleasant under-taste, common to all Irish Whiskey I've tried - perhaps it's unmalted barley? Notwithstanding, I've yet to try it with water...!

Tasting Notes by Michael Jackson
Nose: Clean, fresh. Hint of linseed. Nuts. Cake.
Palate: By far the biggest of this selection. Assertive and complex, with lots of development and seemingly infinite dimension. Ginger cake, brazil nuts, treacle.
Finish: Liquorice-like sherry notes.
Comment: Delicious, soothing, contemplative. A great whiskey. Makes me want to get on a plane to Dublin immediately.
Score: 9 / 10

Tasting Notes by Jim Murray
Nose: With Green Spot, the most impressive of Irish noses. There's a fruity, almost rye-like quality, and deft, honeyed sweetness, a touch of sherry, cream soda vanilla and some peppery notes. Breathtaking.
Palate: The flavours take off in all directions. Spiciness and a pot still backbone softened by sherry. Very firm with some toffee.
Finish: Oily, some liquorice and enormous sweet-sour complexity. Spicy and long.
Comment: Not quite perfect, but still an astonishing experience.
Score: 9 / 10

Tasting Notes by Peter Mulryan
Nose: The very Irish nose tweak of resin, sherry and linseed.
Palate: Fat and oily. Layers of satin ginger, silk honey and hints of spicy liquorice.
Finish: Vanilla pods and marsala.
Comment: This is what real pure pot still whiskey is all about, a glorious contradiction of soft fruit and firm grain, oily seeds and sweet wood. World beating stuff.
Score: 9 / 10

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom
Nose: Intense and full blooded. Pot still richness: citrus oils, hot sealing wax, leather, tobacco, tea, maraschino, overripe fruits, marzipan. Exemplary.
Palate: Ridiculously big. Oozes into the mouth and erupts. Spices galore to the finish. Oily and unctuous.
Finish: Long, rich, oily.
Comment: Whiskey covering the entire spectrum of aroma, taste, feel, flavour. World class.
Score: 9 / 10
